Daysite Dalton Part 2, Antler Direct Percussion
Channel: Prehistoric Living
Date: 29/07/2022

For this stage I did all the main thinning work with a small antler billet I swing in a freehand direct percussion fashion. I think it went pretty well all things considered. Sorry about the bad camera focus sometimes. 

Thanks for watching. Cheers.
