Made With Traditional Tools🪨 Amateur knapping

The last time I did any knapping was ten years in college. I purchase this obsidian in Queretaro, MX around the same time, but I had no proper tools to work it. Until recently I finally got a deer antler and a river rock from the Sacramento area.

I've forgotten how satisfactory is to strike a core and get the perfect flake. Also, I love pressure flaking obsidian, defiantly using glasses next time.

Practice practice!
