D. C. Waldorf's Guide To The Flint Axes Of Southern Scandinavia And North Germany. D. C. Waldorf's Guide To The Flint Axes Of Southern Scandinavia And North Germany. Though the text is complete enough that it can stand on its own, this small book was basically designed to serve as a companion to the DVD, Making Danish Square-Sectioned Axes With D.C. Waldorf. Much of material here-in has been distilled from the Waldorf’s un-published Danish files and should help to clarify the picture of the flint technology of Southern Scandinavia before the Dagger Period. It is roughly divided into two parts: a simplified overall view of the prehistory and artifacts before the Late Neolithic, and a detailed description of square-sectioned axes and how they were made. Comb bound, 64 pages, with many never-before-published drawings by the late Val Waldorf. If you have D.C.’s guide to daggers, you’ll definitely want to add this one to your collection.
