James explores one of his favourite tools to knap: the Neolithic axe head in this episode of #KnapTime. As well as how to produce a good quality axe using impure material, James will look at managing surface topography to allow flakes to travel across the flint surface without causing hinge or step fractures. The more ridges and concavities he can remove the better the axe head, and quicker the grinding/polishing time once its fully flaked!
