Title: Thank you, Eddie!
Post by: Bill Skinner on May 13, 2010, 06:07:20 pm

I would like to say thank you to Eddie Parker, otherwise known as Mullet, for the box full of slate.  He also threw in a pretty piece of translucent, honey yellow, coral as a bonus.  Thank you, sir, I greatly appreciate it.  Bill

 Bill;

 I need to thank you for that Tallahatta. That is some nice, frustration relieving rock ;D. That Coral is heat treated, I didn't feel right sending a Flat-Rate box not full. ;)

I have managed to beat a point out of it.  That is actually pretty good for me, I usually break the first couple of pieces of a new rock.  I have a knapping demonstration on Saturday, Guy Meddars from Mississippi will be there, as he is a much better knapper, I will get started pecking and grinding.  It is a Tools and Weapons of the Southeastern Mississippi Culture, we talked about pecking and grinding before, now we can actually show something.  Thank you, again.  Bill

 Any time, Bill. I have enough slate for a lifetime.
