$10.00Price
Cover by David Wescott, ID. Discovered in a dry desert cave was an ancient tool kit. Inside was found a tool made up of a pair of antlers bound end to end in a sleeve of buckskin. What exactly was its’ purpose? Through the testing of personal insights based upon years of experience, some noted flintknappers have been experimenting with one possible answer to the riddle. Pictured on the cover of Bulletin #43 is a photo of flintknapper, Greg Nunn demonstrating what is thought to be a possible use for the tool. His own reason for using it is that it combines the accuracy of pressure flaking with the force generated from percussion flaking.
