Daniel White has taken the skill of prehistoric craftsmen to extreme miniature sizes. His smallest flint-knapped arrowhead is smaller than a grain of rice.
Craftsmanship is not always easy to categorize, but it is usually easy to recognize. This section is for craftsmen who have developed skills or built projects that don't fall into some easily recognized trade or hobby. Nevertheless, what they have done is often both interesting and worthy of recognition. Rather than ignore them, we have created a special category for work that you might not otherwise know existed. In some cases projects are included here because, due to a language barrier or other factors we are simply not able to gather much information on the craftsman, but we still thought you would enjoy seeing the work. Where possible, links to more of the craftsman's work are provided.
