Title: my new small ishi stick
Post by: iowabow on April 24, 2013, 07:19:58 pm

I am to a point that I need a small ishi stick. This one is two ended. On one end is the working end and the other storage. The storage is for the blanks I use to lift the antler as it wears.

I wanted to make this tool for the past few months but just never had the time. I think it will work great when I do my final pass of flaking.

Either way, mighty fine! Hope the hollow core doesn't make it weak, but I'm guessin you've already tested it out quite a bit. See ya in a week, buddy!
