Sailor, Scott Dobler aka,Eskimo boy (on PP),Clint Fulbright,(very good knapper) not sure what his handle is.Post a thread over there and maybe someone will come forward?

 The fella that knapped on the shag is out of the loop nowadays.Haven't heard from ,or of him for several years now.

Jesse,how did the rock cookin come out?
