2nd point...a little better

[bigox911]

I finally got a better looking biface knocked off and here's what I ended up with. Still using the same tools.

Now the comparison...guess which one is my first and which is my second

Not too bad...some how my knuckle started bleeding...not to sure how still. Also I should have remembered the slice in my finger tip from last night BEFORE I cut up the onion for supper

Not bad. Keep workin on it. It takes alot of rock to get there.

You are proceedin` just fine. When you get tired, stop and take a break. If youn get to a point where you get nervous about breakin` it, quit, lay it down for a day or two.

looking good Ox! Listen to these guys, they'll steer ya right!

Get rid of them flat edges, they are impeding your progress. Use zig-zag flaking to do it. You are coming along just fine there OX.

Thanks for the advice. Are you talking about the flat edge below...circled in red?

If so, there's a hinge where the arrow is pointing...Is that where I would apply pressure to flake that part off? Thanks so much for the input.

Yes... there will be blood .. .

Ox, you need better tools!! Cut you the tine off a deer antler, or cut you off a shovel handle and stick a piece of hard drawn # 6 copper in it. File the copper to a needle tip and go to work.

Like them blooded pics!!
