slept in today since i didnt have to work.
got up about 7:30 am to see snow on the ground
drank my coffee,took the dog out to do his duty
then cleared the snow from the driveway and walk ways
then i got bored,so decided i would do a little knapping
which i havent been doing much of as of late
i started off with a hand sized nodule of texas geaoge town flint
used direct percussion with a moose billet to reduce it down make a biface
then switch to a copper bopper for further reduction and shaping
switched to pressure flaking for the final shaping and finish work
i had wanted a Dalton but while pressure flaking near the base a flake took out a fairly large piece and i had to switch my plans up
i looked it over and decided i would go for an eared Eden instead.
it does have a median ridge,the base is ground and i did grind in on the sides of the base and not flake them in(which from my research was the correct way)
after about 2 hours worth of work this is my finished product
any hoo enough blabbering
heres a pic of my days work
as always
thanks for looking
