I am supposed to be getting a box of tallahata  chert  today or tomorrow if anyone is interested.  I am a terrible knapper to start with and I heard that particular rock is on the harder side to knap.

We do however expect to see a point made from it.  At some time in our life.

Yes, and see some arrowheads too.   :P

Well Don, I've been back and forth on this one. I reckon I can scrummage up a box of chert. Might even be able to send some heat treated. Count me in.

Yes!  I can't wait.  I have a nice box ready to go and Im sure someone will appreciate the mix of local NY rock I have in it..also will include a point made from one of the stone.  I look forward to the exchange and will be happy with whatever I get..I wouldn't mind some tallahatta and ryholite to compare to the stone I have though... have a good day and thanks Don!  This is a great idea..oh also let me know for whomever gets paired up with me I can throw in a wooden billet/bopper..its a very Abo tool that was used by the ancients as well as some modern Knappers, its amazing the effect wood has on the hard rocks..

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!!!

This is  dum question??  I have some obsidian slabs that were given to me by one of my old Washington buddies.  I used them when trying to teach the basics of knapping to kids the Wyoming G & F get together each year.  If no one would be offended I could add a hand full of them along with the rest of the box!  Let me know or I will just send big ole rocks.

Don, I am out. The rock didn't show today.  I sent the funds for the rock over a month ago. Looks like I got clipped.  Oh well.  Hope I didn't goof things up. Jon
