As a Friend from New York would say, " Aww Youse Guys! " Man you guys are killing me. I still can't seem to get the hang of getting the middle humps out, or consistant long flakes. Made some arrow heads the other night, started out with a nice sized piece, and thought I would have a decent sized arrow head, but ended up with a smaller one. My knuckle flap has finally closed, but still red and puffy. Of course if I would leave the rock alone for awhile longer, it might actually heal, with out my bumping, and scraping it. This is a hazardous addiction, or I mean Hobby......Man Hawkbow, and Cowboy, those are nice. I wish I lived where I could just go out and pick up a truck load of knappin rock. It's here in Fla. but you have to know where, and sometimes you have to be uh......sneaky......or uh.....stealthy. Luckily, Eddie gave me a bucket of spalls of different material, and sizes. The small stuff, I use as practice pieces. The bigger stuff, I "try" to make something out of it. Occaisionally, I will get something that starts to look pretty good, and it either breaks, or I can't get the lump out of the center, etc. You guys are good. I will just keep smacking, and pushing, and prying, till I can get there. So long as my blood supply can keep up.
