Title: Driftwood and bone
Post by: Hunts with stone on April 02, 2013, 09:14:57 pm

I was looking around a lake down in Virginia and found this drifteood that looks like a deer scull and Antlers and thought it would make a great stand. So I made this 13 1/2 inch bone knie with Oak handle.(http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u455/Tris_Smith/knapping/A167EAA9-5CE9-40D6-8F2A-EB8B5D8581AC-6283-00000D3DFA8EAA1F_zpsddfffe88.jpg)(http://i1068.photobucket.com/albums/u455/Tris_Smith/knapping/35DBCE45-203C-46D5-BB1C-ADC2D8A5C322-6283-00000D3E092FD0DA_zpsfee178f7.jpg)

Thanks everyone for the nice Replies. Both sides of the blade Are ground to give it a knapped look.

A year or so back, Iowabow did some knapping on bone.  I forget how it came out though.  He ran a few flakes I remember.
