Title: hammerstone work
Post by: jamie on January 05, 2011, 08:19:58 am

no bone no antler. all work done with a single hammer stone. even figured out how to do pressure flaking with stone. you can see it in some of the small er scars. 4" knife and a 2" inch fluted point

Ditto on Cowboy's comment.  Very utilitarian, yet well executed.  You are "Aboman."
