second attempt
« on: April 24, 2008, 08:44:48 pm »
ok yall this is my second attempt, this time with a copper flaker instead of the nail. also I took a Sharpie to it so I could see the flake scars better....I can't wait to get my hands on some good knapping material.

  Nice Biface. You can't really ask for much easier material than Obsidean or glass.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Well, that's quite an improvement over your first attempt - your learning in leaps and bounds ;D. Looks good!!

You took a sharpie to it? Didn't catch that first time around - did you paint the glass black? Looks just like obsidian..

Second attempt??? Wow!  Just wait until your fourth attempt...I want to see the pictures of the Danish Daggers you'll be making soon.
