Yep, we need to bring tiller some quartzite and porphorytic rhyolite.

Yep, I'll be there - even if the creek does rise

. That's about an hour worth of pickin and boppin, couldn't locate the farmer this time and you have to drive about a mile across his place (in the wide open) to get to that hill - his corn was already startin to sprout so I was a little uneasy about being there walking around. You know how them land owners can be

Whelp, I spalled and bi-faced a bunch of that today - will get a bucket or so worth treated up for the classic. Whatever I load in the back of the truck (raw) will be fair game - just watch the paint

. You'll recognize it Marshrat, there'll be a crowd gathered around

Leapin, Did you learn from James Parker? I believe thats all you can use on rhyolite.

That green rhyolite from around Asheboro is primo stuff-one of my favorite rocks to work.

id probably just end up breaking it down to something smaller than a bird point that has sort of a point on it but way to thick.....im getting pretty good at that....

Bishop, I thought that was the object of the game-at least that's the style I make, too.

leapingbare · « **Reply #27 on:** March 22, 2008, 03:22:32 pm »

Hey hillbilly i steal got a bunch of the green stuff maby you can talk me off of some of it.

Hillbilly · « **Reply #28 on:** March 22, 2008, 08:25:26 pm »

LB-I'd like to-I love that stuff for making hunting points. James is the man. Most of what little I know about knapping I learned from watching him.

Bishop · « **Reply #29 on:** March 22, 2008, 11:13:59 pm »

Hillbilly, we cant be makin the same kind of points....maybe ill make the "man this is looking good im finally going to knap a good one, then break it in half" point my trademark....
