Interesting flaker you have there, or is that a punch of some sort?

Thanks you guys! Your right Eddie, we are gonna miss him.

Lee- Jesse showed me a trick to get rid of those troublesome fingernail flakes that you inevitably get with some materials like KY Blue. You just take wax and melt it over the finished stone and wipe off the excess. The wax gets under the flakes and makes them invisible. Cool trick that works well.

Tom- that's a horseshoe nail finish flake/notcher.

Lee: Waxing em camoflouges all the fingernail catchers (help me out with the word guys, ha). Not steps but all the tiny terminations, haha.. The word escapes me - sorry ;D.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

The blade looks awesome... but the series of pictures is priceless! Love seeing the progression as you worked the stone. Nice job on both blade and pics.

Thanks again y'all, thanks stevenT I know those reduction photos sure have helped me in the past. Especially before I was able to watch other knappers in person.
