PIFA Knapping
« on: June 02, 2010, 11:30:04 pm »
Got some good material from Jesse, :) Here's a few that I knapped at the Presque Isle Trad shoot. My knapping friend couldn't make it this weekend so I had to go it pretty much by myself. Had a few begineers stop by an do some rock thump'in an bs in. Thanks for looking an thanks for the rock Jesse. ;D Later Bob

Nice work BOB!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

 Those are nice, Bob. I really like beating that rock. I meant to buy some from Jesse before I left the Classic but got side tracked.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
