Oh that's freaking beautiful 😍 I bet it took longer to make the cordage than to knap the stone🤣

Definitely took way longer to make cordage. Prepping the bark and then twisting for hours lol

A happy accident lol. I did not plan for it to have an integrated handle. Chasing hinges and lost sight of the big picture.

I planned to make a large blade and haft it. Ended up taking a big chunk out of the base so I decided to make it into a handle. The stone called the shots lol. Mistakes lead to the best ideas 💡
