Title: Obsidian bi face
Post by: Russ on October 13, 2021, 11:09:03 pm

Biggest  bi face yet! I’m deciding what I’m going to make out of it… another heart could be fun but I also really want to get better at arrowheads and the like…. I got a bunch of obsidian now so we’ll see!

I’m suprised I got this so thin without any huge step fractures!

Well done deerhunter, that's better than what I can do. Seems like you're getting it
