First Knap-in
« on: February 17, 2014, 10:55:56 am »
I went to my first knap-in over in Dade City.  It was a ton of fun!  So much fun that I wrote a blog about it.  I didn't get any pictures of the event but Zuma did so I hope he posts some here or I will if he emails me any.  If any of y'all are on the fence about going to a knap-in near you I would highly suggest you go to it.  The folks there are extremely welcoming.  If you have any questions about anything they'll answer your questions and more.  I was thoroughly impressed with everything.  Anyway, point being, go to a knap-in!  You won't regret it!
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

I had a great time, also. And I left my camera, too. Had a good time meeting you Tim and hope the old guys gave you a chuckle or two.

Just got some pictures from Zuma.

Here's a shot of Mullet and bonepile


Me in my knappin' chair.  It was amazing how fast it warmed up after sunrise.


Twistedlimbs wheelin' and dealin'.  That guy had a thing for his knives.


These guys knew how to make good camp food


Some of the arrowheads I made minus the brown glass one.  Ryan made that one.  Of course the two larger ones aren't finished yet.
