This stuff was exceptional! Knapped like butter! The translucient Pedernales seems to be like that. At lest in this area. Maybe I'm just lucky.

You have a good point. I need to go on a rock run one day.  Should have went to bend while the river was dry.  There is one county road off of 45 to your brothers house that has flint all over the place.

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!!!

Cowboy, in a manner of speaking yes! Its a limestone quarry w/ lots of flint. Pretty good stuff. Sometimes it needs a little heat.
