been awhile
« on: September 22, 2010, 01:29:12 pm »
I know it's been awhile since I've been on here. Been doing vacations and went to MOJam, back to work... you know the things that don't really matter. But I have found a little time here and there to sit down and do some knapping, Once again, I learned alot from the guys at the Jamboree, and picked up some really nice rock to beat on. I hate that I still do alot of breaking good stuff, but try to keep it in perspective (it's just rock!) So here ya go...

Thanks guys for the kind words. The obsidian has been a fun diversion, but not as satisfying as making a nice chert point or knife. The first and the last pics are pieces of local chert that I picked up around here. I believe Brad called it a burlington, but I can't remember the specifics. I love the fact that I don't even have to heat these rocks and still get outstanding workability from some of them. If I had the right setup heatin them might make them better, but the way I see it --  why bother?

Hey Tim, I guess you recognized the cane shafts. I have turned 8 of them into some awful nice shootin sticks. Sure do appreciate your generosity, they are perfectly tuned for my latest osage bow. I am totally impressed with the way they fly, and not real sure I want to go back to dogwood now.

Well let me be honest with ya...I really don't want you to feel obligated to sit around and hunt or have to look at or even think about those heads that you made just getting back into the swing of things. You really should let me dispose of them for you, that way you can start with a clean slate (no pun intended) and not have to fume over those "practice" heads. ;)
