I have said before I don’t like destroying things to make my stone tools. Well, I am not really sticking to my principles.
The ovate below is not my best as I had issues with step fracturing, and the shape is ‘quirky’. Plus still some original on one surface. However, I enjoyed the two hours in the lab, and stayed fully engaged throughout.
With glass blocks like this I need to improve the early stage turning of the edges, as that is what later leads to the step fractures. Still, not complaining as I am at a stage I am very happy with. I could improve this but lose size, so I think for now it is fine as it is.
Saturday night’s alright for knapping!
