Tallahata Hillsborough
« on: February 01, 2010, 08:53:31 pm »
Did battle with some Tallahata from Jeffutley today. Didn't realize how spoiled I was on that nice TX stuff till tonight :-X. Thing started out about four times this size but I still have most of a box left - more to come and bigger hopefully :).

You won that fight!  Now show us what you can really do!
  You see what I meant about how some of it just will not knapp?

Yup we are ;D. Thanks fellers! I don't see why your so head up about gettin home to that tallhata Eddie, that TX stuff you just picked up is a lot easier to work ::). I found out what ya mean Shannon - that white stuff doesn't knap worth a cra&&^p :D.

That's a helluva nice looking Hilly, Paul. Here's the best Hilly I've made from that TQ so far, not as nice as yours, though.

I hope I did you guys good.  I did my best with my limited knowledge of putting together rock boxes.  The Post Office lady thought I was crazy mailing so much rock  ;D  Quite honestly, I'm about done playing with it.  My hands have 4 DEEP cuts in them and I'm not having much luck!  >:( Shannon told me he thought it was good to learn on because if you could get comfortable with this, you could knap any other rock....but I'm frustrated as ever!!!

Don't give up Jeff.  Get you some easy working rock and build some confidence.  You can do it ;)

I beg to differ Steve! Your like the quartzite King ;D. That's another dandy lookin point too. You done good on the box-o-rock Jeff, I might be lookin to trade for some more - maybe try to refine my technique ::). Got a box headed your way, It'll flake a lot better than this stuff.
