Letchworth Point
« on: August 31, 2010, 08:40:34 pm »
I had a Onondaga preform started at home an brought with me to Letchworth Knappin. Ended up as this blade, 4" long x 1"x 1/4" Pretty decent for me, had a couple of spots that I just could not thin to my expectations.  Someday ;D The weather was perfect an got to knap with some great people from all over, good time an got a little more experience from some great knappers. Thanks for looking Bob

NICE 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!!!
