| Flintknapping Resources |
| ***Partial Content*** |
| Currently I use copper billets and tools to create stone tools and points. Historically, aboriginals used antler billets, stone billets, and anter pressure flakers to make their stone tools. Early on in my knapping career I used moose antler, and white-tailed deer antlers to do my percussion work. I switched to copper tools because they are more durable and need less maintenance than their antler counterparts. I can use both copper and antler tools while knapping the same piece of stone, but stick to copper most of the time. If a customer needs a replica made completely with antler, stone, and bone, I can do that also. One of my favorite points to knap is the Susquehanna point as well as Hopewell and Snyder's points. I hope you find the below resources and opinions helpful and interesting. |
