South Dakota knap in
« on: September 03, 2017, 06:51:32 am »
Well it was sort of a knap in. Except I was the only one there. lol  Went to South Dakota for 3 weeks to take one of our grandson to a Christian youth camp so my wife and I stayed out there. I mean how many times can you go to Mt. Rushmore. Worked on these while in the camp ground.

The blade is going  into a Cholla handle and go to be a gift to a gal out there that is going thru a rough time.

Looks like some nice stuff got turned out at that knap-in Jeb. Love that blade really sweet. Is that some of that rainbow obsidian? I sure hope it can help put a smile on that ladies face, brighten up her day and maybe take the edge off some hard times.

It is tri flo obsidian. You just can't see the three colors in the photo.

We met the woman on a artifact web site and she invited out to her place.  She had one heck of a collection of Indian artifacts.  BUT going thru an ugly divorce and I thought a knife and stand would cheer her up a bit.

I just made one from a slab of tri. flow you gave me. It's really nice stuff to work and looks beautiful. I gotta get some pictures and post it. I call it shark bite. It looks just like a shark ready to bite something.

Those look great on that cholla.  Bet it must be nice to sit up there and chip.  I'm getting antsy for the humidity to start to back off down here.  Another month...

Very nice!  I'm sure the lady will appreciate the gesture.  Now, I definitely got to find a good piece of cholla!
