A flint ridge necklace pendant

3 flint River, 2 flint ridge, and one alibates

Most of these were 95%antler work and then finely notched or finished with copper or steel nail. Modern flair tag for transparency and accuracy of the production

Made with old lead i melted into a 1.5" copper cap. Bonded the wood to the cap with 2 part epoxy. Shortened and shaped the handle after glue set for 48 hrs. Smacked some keokuk with it and decided I wanted to preserve the fungal decay in the handle, so spent some extra time sanding and clear coating.

Making tools that work for you can be a satisfying part of the flint knapping process

Fun rock. Self collected and cooked. Cooked flint ridge often works like glass that you can hit a little harder without shattering it.
