Plenty of rock within about an hours drive of you.I also know an amateur knapper in Brownwood if you don't like to knapp alone.

Always remember center line, isolated platforms,thin the ends first center last. Hold your preform properly. Last but not least don't be scared to break it. Remember it's just a rock until it is finished.

Seider--that is good advice Tower gave you. Listen to him; he is one good knapper. As far as the rock hunting goes, there may be some good rock down in the creeks and draws. Good luck, and I may see you in Weatherford, if I can get away.

I did find some chert in the creek that runs through Brownwood, not much though. If you could make it to the Brazos from the PK dam down theirs quite a bit.
