[Bonetools] (no subject)

[Alice Choyke]

Dear Etan,
    I am going to run this idea past some actual weavers. It looks like this
piece is so worn you won't see any wear beyond those caused by natural
forces. For weaving narrow bands people usually use short pointed shuttles -
not at all curved. However, I am NOT a weaver of any kind and there are
indeed many ways to skin a cat.
