Stone Tools in Action - Shots of Making A Stone Axe Handle

Here are a few shots of using a stone adze, flint knife, and stone chisel that I took while making a celt handle(a celt is a stone axe without a groove). The handle is being made out of elm. It is green at this stage. Once I finished roughing it out I oiled the heck out of it an let it dry. Then I scraped it with a 90 degree flint edge to smooth it. At some point I will do this when I have the extra time to flim more of the process but it is always good to see the tools in action.
