Load of Rock
« on: May 20, 2011, 10:59:23 am »
Well i very happy i finally got an opportunity to get some Horse Creek chert and I wanted to share the moment with someone. I got the best i have seen in years and i really going to enjoy knapping this stone. I provided two pictures the first is the whole lot and the 2nd is some of it wet to better show the wonderful color. I have been trying for years to get a hold on more then just a few spalls and I'm happy.
In working in stone i find my past, in giving of the blood i pay for the future.

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!!!
