Shades of Crabtree, you'll never run out of rock! Nice!

Good thinkin Tom

I now know my knapping resources are
secure into the distant future.

I could conserve more by making triangles
instead of these larger styles.

You are too funny Zman! I use the tip of a finger to hold them down. I will try to get a decent pic of my smallest one for you.

You don't have to tell me, I started knapping over 20 years ago. I kinda got Petty bad, and like all you others. I lost my mind along time ago, 12,14 years ago. Other than hunting points knapped on those late morning gobbler hunt. I stayed away from knapping mainly.

Just knaped what I need to hunt with and it stayed at that until I trade for some obsidian to tracker. Kinda resparked something. Mainly for my youngest son BRIER, he started knappin glass a year year and half.

It was easy er to quit herion.

I when back and found a small head and a knife. There at least 16,18 years old.

My old lady just said shit. And shook here head when she saw the box of rocks. I told here at least I did'nt take a week and when and got a truck load.

She'll get over it.
