[Bonetools] (no subject)

[Alice Choyke]

My problem with it being a weaving shuttle is that it is curved. correct me
if I am wrong but it would be very awkward to move it at all between the
warp threads. I am wondering why ANTLER was chosen to make a tool that could
be easily produced on cattle rib - much more work involved this way.
