Thanks to Zuma for helping me get some tool stone for a few Adz and Celts. This is the first one I was able to get done . Hickory handle. Thanks Don!455/Tris_Smith/ax%20adz%20celts/B9C9D004-BB31-4EC6-91E4-BAE7E619A8DA_zpsi6u2xoer.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Is there a knot on the business end to help keep it from splitting?

Thanks all,  it could keep most anything at bay. And yes there is a knot in the top end it just makes it a bit stronger. Most splitting occurres from no side clearance. Your celt bit should only be seated on the top and bottom.

Nice work with the celt Glenn. Now let's see a six inch greenstone Clovis. >:D
