I have a few more chunks left that I'm planning on bringing to the Classic.  I'll make sure one has your name on it if you are coming  ;)

Jesse, I'll be there longer this time. Pappy told me to stick around for awhile after the weekend, I'm on vacation then.

I have used wood, copper, antler percussers, and bone and copper pressure flakers.  Use what you like best.  Tallahatta has a habit of really wearing out tools really quickly.  Bill

That is really easy to do with Tallahatta, there are all sorts of inclusions all through it.  I find some points made from Tallahatta that are thin but most are 4-1, 5-1 or so with lots of hinges or steps.  Are you going to come to the Tenn. Classic?  Bill
