Slate lances and ivory polar bear head preforms |
I finally have something from the workshop to share. I finished a pair of Dorset Palaeoeskimo slate lance heads today. I need one for an upcoming order and the other will be a spare to keep in my display collection that I tote around to demonstrations and talks. While I was in the cutting, carving, and grinding mode, I started a couple small ivory bear heads. Again, I need one for an order and the other will go into my collection.
