when i am angry or stressed out,i usually come home and knapp or work on a bow
after an hour or two i feel so much better,or maybe its the other stuff i take for stress lol

my knapping abilities arent that great yet so it doesnt really matter ifn i am pissed or not when i do it.
it all looks the same

Some of that Mt. Kineo rhyolite works great for those situations. You can beat on it as long as you want to without hurting it at all. ;D
