In this video on Gulf Coast Knapping, I break open a colorful Florida coral boulder and begin the full reduction process — from raw stone to biface.
This orangey-red coral had incredible color and solid structure, making it a great candidate for a step-by-step flintknapping tutorial. I show how I spall the boulder, read the rock, establish platforms, and begin thinning it down into a workable biface.
If you’re learning how to flintknap or wanting to understand material reduction better, this one walks through the early stages in detail.
Let me know in the comments — would you have worked this piece differently?
