Rock from Hawaii
« on: July 05, 2011, 07:50:06 pm »
Any knapping rock located in Hawaii.  A friend is stationed there in the Marines and is willing to send me some if there is rock there to knap.

 I don't think there is anything worth paying the shipping.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Hawaii is all volcanic, so there's probably not much knappable rock anywhere around there.  Most of their old war clubs were made with imbedded shark's teeth for cutting, if they had sharp rock, it probably would have been easier to get than shark's teeth.

I looked around in Fiji & Indonesia when I was there and it's the same story.
