In this video I demonstrate the very long process of creating a full groove stone ground Neolithic (New Stone Age) axe head. During this video I work on two different axe head projects but the process is the same and consists of pecking the stone and grinding the stone. This particular project took about 12-16 hours just in forming the axe head itself.
I'm preparing to haft the axe so I create natural cordage with white willow bark to help with this. I processes the bark down then boil it in camp fire char coal and ash to make it even more pliable. This will help it not to break during the chopping with the axe.
I also create fire with a Yucca spindle and White Pine hearth board.
I roast and eat a Cattail root. I also eat a piece of steak for lunch with the dogs.
The only other process in recreating a Neolithic Stone Ground Axe is to haft the axe. I will demonstrate this in my next video so please stay tuned in.
I appreciate all of you that have come along with me in this journey back in time. This type of project allows us to see and experience the type of life style our ancestors had and how hard they had to work to produce tools and weapons.
