Oh I also know of a very dense wood that originates from South America. If you can find a block of Itin/Caranda wood, it may be good for making percussion tools.

Hey @Dakota Kid !
I live Minas Gerais (South-East) , and its true, even though those rocks are easy to find, they are also extremely expensive , and since I'm still a starter I wouldn't like to end up ruining some opal for example!
Thanks For Your reply 😉

Your copper came to me today. I'll box them up with what I have and try to get them in the mail next week. It might be tough since I have to work out of town all next week.

And, when I was in Patrocinio I saw two deer and a cool looking snake, looked like a cross between a rattlesnake and a water moccasin. They told me it was a viper.

Hopefully you won't have to resort to buying rocks. Just find a river or a lake and start looking, or anywhere roads or train tracks cut into a mountain. I live in an area notorious for having poor knapping rock(unless you like rhyolite).  I do still manage to find enough to keep me busy.  I'm having a hard time selling my wife on the idea of buying boxes of rocks for me to break, so for now it's local stuff.

@mullet , Great Eddy!
You can send the stuff whenever you'd like, don't worry about timing 👍
Deers are actually quite rare to see around Here, I'm surprised !
While snakes , mostly vipers , aren't Too hard to find.

@Dakota Kid, well where I live there are no lakes or rivers, however , next week or so, I'll go hunting in a place that has rivers and waterfalls, I'll stay there for about 4-5 days, I'll probably go searching for some rocks aswell!

  Finding your own rock is like cutting your own stave's. It only means something that you and only you will enjoy and understand.

  I can't remember my first point I'm sure it wasn't as good as yours.

@crooketarrow , I guess I'll only understand it when I get the rock myself 😊
Appreciate the feedback 😉
