Thanks GilsGlis.

I started with a spall from my cousin. I used percussion to mass reduce and get pretty close to my final shape. Then I switched to indirect and did a little more thinning. Then I finished up with pressure and put a nice sharp edge on.

Good work BJ. May need to borrow that driftwood display idea you use if I ever get anything hafted. Thanks for taking the time to share your work. Looks great!
