Makeing a bone ornament

[NeoGeo]

I have been thinking of doing this for a while now.A friend lives on a woodland village,and finds tons of bone artifacts.Game pieces,awls,and tons of other items.
So I had all I needed to make some.I have the flint,the bones,(deer & cow)and abrading stones.So today I tryed it...
The flakes worked so much better then a worked piece

[NeoGeo]

These were suposed to be first,but I posted them backward...Sorry ya'll I kept messing up ...They are out of order...

That is cool Neo,,,,thanks for sharing your Skillz/comanche

[NeoGeo]

Thanx I started from scratch..I am just goin with I see and read on forums.I gonna work on it more tomorrow.give it some shape and such.Next I would like to build a drill...I am gonna try to get better at this first tho..lol

Thought this was cool...starts at the bottom,end at the top...
The fkake blade is my fav. new tool...While useing it to try to split the bone.it resharpens it's self.If I slightly change the angle of my hand,some microiflakes come off and shapen it up..very cool..I really like to lear first hand.

Neo,,,keep us posted on your progress with this,,,,I'm more interested in this sort of craft as opposed to knapping.
I guess you have not been diggin lately???/comanche

[NeoGeo]

Nope I have a busted rear break cylinder,I got the part to fix it the other day,it's just been too wet....After all this rain it should be good diggin.
I did have to knapp out all my tools tho..

I hear ya brother,,,,bout the rain,,,,I am in New Orleans and we have had rain all week and expect it to last.
I hope Lake Travis fills up before I return.
Good hunting when you do get out.

here are the next batch ...
1st...me
next I had to switch to a larger tool to keep going.Note the bone dust..

Remember the saw-like tool I found recently?I made one,and it works great!

Once it got thinner,I knapped out a spade-like tool,and used it like a wedge to split it...















There will be more,and if I may.I woulnd like to start a new thread,as I think I will try to make a Awl .

[comanche]

Nice neo,,,,I now see what you mean about making your tools,,,super cool
I can't wait to see what the awl will look like and how you might want to use it/comanche
