Title: ABO Dalton Classic, across flaking, flutin drivin, stack pickin, and grinning...
Post by: iowabow on September 21, 2015, 06:42:26 pm
Festival!!!! Learned how to make an ABO stack picker yesterday. Today was so much fun. Ever have that stone that just works great but knots somewhere the center evertime. They are stackers and the biggest pain for an ABO guy but now I have a great little tool seen in one of the pictures. It is an ulna bone fit into my small ishi stick. I use it to get under that little stack and just flex it and the flake just pops right off. Enjoy the pics.

Thank you Don.
Eddie, I have taken a more forensic photograph of the ishi stick with the antler and a small rock down below it. I use a rock to adjust the height of the antler tip. Also, if I wear down the antler too far and can't remove the tip, the hole on the side allows access so a bone fragment can be used to push out the antler tip. Or you could just grab a screw drive and push it out... lol.
