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

I want to apologize to everyone on PA.  The last month I havent been at my best. Unexpected circumstances arose that occupied much of my time    PA has the greatest group of people in this world.  I was PM'ed about this post. I let it fall through the cracks. I feel like I've let y'all down.  Again I apologize.   If anyone is still interisted please let me know.

I think we all know how those unexpected circumstances seem to happen at times. I hope things are better. I am also still in.

Tower I hae been knapping nothing but hard rock lately.  I collected about 1000lbs of Argillite, its like basalt but a little different.  Its metamorphosed or indurated shale.  The Lenape and the Maori used it a lot.  I also have some touh NY rock silicified shale or esopus, some normanskill, a few pieces of Onondaga and I have a lot of local Quartzite.  If you or any one are interested let me know...I also have hornstone, novaculite, Flintridge, obsidian, few pieces coral, coastal plains, a few more I cant remember off hand.

ps u can see what I been doing with some of it on PaleoPlanet...I have the banner pic on oldtool thread...a killer quartzite bifurcate..scroll down and see the Dalton, and argillite Susqhuehanna point..also a banner pic...

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!!!

I would jump in with the local stuff, but I don't think anybody would be too happy with the choice of local rhyolite i have.  This stuff will make you cry.

My local materials jaspers and agates supply is down, but I have a palate of southern rock mostly Texas stuff.  Am not interested in glass though.  Would like to be added to this list!  Joe

Ok , if it's ok with everyone I'll post everyone  interisted in participating on Thursday evening. I will personally PM everyone from the older posts tomorrow.    Hopefully we can get this thing shipped early next week.   Let it be known that what we receive is what our brothers on PA have to break.    It may not be the best, or material some of us are accustom  to.     We do however expect to see a point made from it.  At some time in our life.   :).    Tower
