Shore did! Here's a point, couple of blades and a knife I got in a trade from Sawfiler for a box-o-rocks ;D. You outdid yourself this time Shannon! Here's my smiling face with the booty. Think I may put these together with some others from Shannon in a display. Absolutely beautiful work!!!

Very cool!
-
you lucky dog ;D ;)... great stuff.. Hawk
-
That was payment for a whole lot more than just one box of rocks :) I believe it was several boxes of rock, hours of phone instruction, tons of inspiration and just because I know how tired you get of looking at that ugly old grey Texas flint ::)
-
There is a saying for that kind of grin, but can't be repeated here!!! Shannon's skill is beyond legal! He sent me a knife that is perfect front to back and side to side! Joe
-
Cowboy, you are on lucky son of a gun!
-
That is cool and I agree that I'm lucky ;D. I dunno Shannon - You've sent me more than just a bunch of raw rocks is worth in my opinion. I'll keep sending rocks if ya wanna keep sending me finished quality stuff like that ;D. What is that saying Joe? You got my curiousity up now ::).
-
A poop eatin' possum! :D
-
A poop eatin grin - I figured that one out ;D.
-
::) I had the same grin when I received the knife. Worked out great as I had a big Piute skinner and needed a small gutter! What should be against the law is that this young fellow managed to skip several years of learning to advance to the artist level. Joe
-
I agree Joe! Don't think theres anything Shannon can't pick up on quick - cept for maybe standing on his head fartin quarters :D.
-
Nice stuff Paul, yup Shannon is a good guy :)
-
He's just as good at making bows and knifes as he is flintknapping! Not hardly fair is it? ;)
-
It ain't right for one fella to have so much God given talent......... ::) ;D
The boy has got it going on....... 8)
-
I'd bet if he tried hard enough he could come up with a few quarters too, Paul. ;D
-
awesome work shannon. you look like a little boy at christmas getting his red ryder bb gun.
-
Yep, masters anything in a matter of months - talk about mechanically inclined and an eye for detail. If there was more money in this stuff I know who could get rich quick - wouldn't get far on the quarter deal though..
-
I was in high spirits yesterday Jamie ;D.
-
If he pinches a quarter as hard as he told me he did yesterday, he probally has a few tucked away there already. You're a lucky man, Paul.
-
He He ;D

Wolf Watcher, It's like I have said before, he should stay off of this thread, for a couple of years, and then come back on, and by then the rest of us will have some what of a skill level, so that he won't make us fee so bad. :-[ But he has to leave the rock alone for that period, and when he comes back on, he will be more in line. ;) It just isn't fair that he can tap into some recessive gene from some far distant paleo ancestor! :'( No sir, it just ain't right! :( Ya woulda taught da moderaters woulda had told him ta slow down a bit now don'tcha know? ;) Eh Dana? ;D ;D

You're ALL crazy! :D
-
damn them is nice pieces there :o
i was wondering whom the lucky person was that was getting them.
that guy has some pure ancient in him,he claims hes not that good
my eye hes not that good.
now i am not that good and i have been doing this longer than him(by a couple of months) and i look at his work and say to myself "someday,someday i will be able to do that" ;D

Sorry Dana, I will try to curb my crass Yooper tongue, ......now and then. So is the picture of Shannon, one of him standing, with his back arched backwards, and with his head bent back, with a huge laugh coming out of his mouth, and one arm across his stomach, and the other pointing a finger in your general direction? That would be appropriate for me. Probably one with him on his back, kicking his legs, in the air holding his stomach, with tears streaming down his face, with a hysterical laugh on his face...... ::)

Hey Shannon, the saw blades came today! 8) Thanks, I appreciate that. I will get some rock to you. They have the axle for my truck, now, but now I am waiting for a loaner car. Due to the recall,(TOYOTA) they are not loaning any out, till they get the problem fixed. Supposed to be a return tonight. Anyway, I will see what I can cram in a flat rate box. Again thanks for the saw blades. :)

You're mighty welcome Wayne. I hope you can do something with that stuff. Those three big clean cut pieces all have a butt weld through them. You may want to consider that when you cut it up. I had some saws that were too long, so I had to cut a little out of them and reweld them.
Rock is always welcome. ;D
