The hoe blade was made from a piece of raw central Texas
chert. The handle was made from a pecan tree limb. I tried
a long handle, but it was too heavy and hard to use. I used this
model for a while and that is why there is dirt on it.
Top Picture: Shows the entire hoe. Left Picture: Shows the hafting. I used sinew and hide glue to haft the blade to the handle. Bottom Picture: Shows the underside of the blade. If you look closely at the tip of the blade, you can see a little polish that is characteristic of hoe blades. Total Blade Length: 19.57 cm (7.70 in); Usable Blade Length:
11.1 cm (4.37 in); Blade Width: 9.5cm (3.74 in).
