That's a nice one, Pete. It's a shame that they make that stuff into whetstones, ain't it? :)

A very nice point.  Pete you are the knapperman.  Novaculite is my favorite knapping material.  Where do you  get yours?

I got the white and peach novaculite from Dennis Kerns and Steve Nissly at Flint Ridge this year. But I am sure they both got it from Steve Kearshman)(sp) from Dan's Whetstone. It's great stuff. The purple I made the Susquehanna from came from Craig Ratzat-nice big spalls. PD

Dan's is where I get mine.  You gotta get some of his black or black and gray.  Unbelievable beauty.  I find novaculite easy to knap .  It is really easy to get good long flakes with novaculite.

Really nice.  I got some of the black and gray stuff.  I screwed up the first one.  Now I'm a little intimidated but I need to get after the next.  I've got a point for the swap to get done and a couple for Okie1. Not to mention a few for me too.   ::)

I've actually never worked any novaculite, but I'd like to get hold of some of that black/white cosmic novac. I've seen some killer points made from it. dan's whetstone, huh?

I bought mine at Missouri trading company. She sells here pink and black novaculite for a higher price, the white with black streaks is the cheap stuff but still not cheap :).

Aside from it's beauty, the blackand gray, black and white, are a much higher quality of chert and work much more easily,  It is probably much easier than Flintridge or Burlington, which are awfully easy.  As soon as I can relax a little over the recent economic meltdown, I'm going to gather up a few sheckles and buy some black and white and black and gray.
