Pointy Sticks

Áskell watched as Stjarna worked, nodding quietly to himself before examining the work the other two were doing. Morganna was working efficiently, stripping her stick of extra leaves and branches. He nodded approvingly then turned to see what the raider boy, Ken was working on. The boy was a bit slow to start but he soon caught up with the girls and Áskell gave him a nod as well. "Good work, now we need to sharpen one end to make a spear."

"There a couple ways to make the pointed end but the main one is to start rubbing one end of the stick across the edges of a rock, rotating as you do so until you end up with a point." Áskell went to demonstrate, picking up the stick in his jaws and carefully angling the point toward the rock. He then held it in place with his paw to apply pressure while rotating with his teeth. He set the stick down. "It takes some work but won't require you to sharpen bone or stone. That would be another lesson."
