Oh wow. Love this post! Thanks for sharing your experience and the great pics. As an art historian student/buff, I just really dig this stuff. Museums that are art galleries and immersive educational resourcesā€¦ <3

My husband LOVES the Aztecs, and Iā€™ve been considering how to make him a Maquahuitl (thatā€™s the wooden sword with obsidian teeth blades). However knapping the stone is a bit more of a challenge than I really want to take onā€¦ Maybe I can ā€œfake itā€ with acrylic and woodā€¦ Hmmā€¦ Ideasā€¦ Ideasā€¦ :smiley:

That sounds strangely Klingon. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Cool gift idea! I wouldnā€™t be surprised if you could find a source of obsidian points you could make workā€¦ With a little modification.

Lots of it available
