That's kind of a "good luck-bad luck" to get all that coral and then have an injured hand preventing you from working it. It would make me so mad I would just have to give it to someone to get even. I guess I could be that someone and help you out.

I can't believe I lived in Broward County for four years and never new about coral for knapping... >:D

nclonghunter, I know what you mean about the hand, sucks and have some new knapping tools coming in the mail. I did go out and beat on some rock this afternoon, I couldn't stand it. :D I don't know what would suck wind more; a hurt hand and good rock, or living in Broward county for any length of time.

Jamie, tell me where Granny lives and I'll see if the rocks any good before you make that long trip down. ;)

Thanks, Jeff. I've got my doubts about a lot of it being good for points. But some of it has some nice polyps.

I loked the coral u sent me that time it was challenging but absolutley awesome!  Nothing beats being able to get stone native to your area...only problem was Im up here knapping out northern Iroquios tribe styled points with coral...thats taboo!

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!!!
