nice points looks hard !

[mullet]

 those look prehistoric.

[Jaeger]

It breaks real good ,it must have gone through a good heating,some of it has that  dirty look to it inside.I think it goes to the top of my favorites list with dacite and pedernales ,I really am not much on the georgetown though it breaks too easy to suit me, I think I will put it on my  dont want any more list.

 Send me the Georgetown and I'll trade you for some of this ol' Chert down here if you want to beat on something hard.   Did you mix up Perdanales and Dacite? One, you have to knock it like a slobberknocker and the other you can love tap.

[Jaeger]

I like dacite it breaks predictable but the G-Town is hard for me to do anything with it is steppy unpredictable like obsidion to me .I guess I just need to learn how to adjust platforms for it.

i like dacite,its easy on the arms/shoulders
also easy to snap them with pressure
i like using harder materials,just cause its harder to break them when making them
but i do like obsidion too.

I like the looks of that Frisco. I LOVE G-town though! 
I guess we're all different...I have fewer steps and more  predictability with G-town

[cowboy]

Those are some nice points! I'm gonna have to lean toward the G-town too, if for no other reason than I can pick up a chunck and work it without having to worry about cooking it.

[Hillbilly]

Nice work, those look just like the Stanley points we find here.

[Jaeger]

Thanks for the encouragement . Question ,Do you fellers  cut a slab and then knap G- town ,or just knap it down to size, I have a hard time working big square chunks down and the flake are small  , like for tiny bird triangles,not like  the ped. where I can get good flake to make decent arrow heads out of my debitage of it?

[Hillbilly]

What little Georgetown I've ever worked with knapped like butter without being brittle like obsidian or dacite, excellent rock, some of the best I've ever hit. I percussion it down from chunks.

[FlintWalker]

Jaeger, I don't know where you got yer G-town from but all I've ever worked was a dream to knapp.   It works so good I have to be careful that the flakes don't run all the way across the piece and clip the far edge off...seriously.
  What I work are from spalls.
 I can't see anybody running flakes farther on ped than they can on G-town.
 Does yours look like this?

wow those are nice mine is darker, I think it knapps like butter too like obsidion ,wavy flakes and all .I am positive it is extra good rock but it just dont agree with me somehow ,I dont care for black obsidion and it is alot like that to me.now I llove dacite and other types of obsidion ,I however do not want any more gold shheen either, it is the worst type of obsid too me.but I am not the knapper you fellas are either ,it may well come in time.

[cowboy]

Woohoo Shannon! We've seen those before but woohoo again - extra nice! Most all of that Georgetown knaps  a little like obs but just a little more forgiving. Ya gotta back off some after knapping that perd.
