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

Eddie, Carrara glass was used on old store fronts or old time ice cream parlors. The old white glass counters where you could get a real cherry coke, Your probably to young to remeber them. It is just glass tile, some has a rough back for the glue to adhere too. About 3/8" thick. I'll see if Hickory Bill will bring a few to the classic. Sure as heck is better to knap than some old toilet tank
I hate thunder chert.

Nice points Bob,
Here is some tile porcelain from the Trade Towers in lower Manhattan.
Dredged up and transported to NJ for fill.
About 3/4 inch stuff.

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!!!
