Title: Been a while since I've broke any rock
Post by: jonathan creason on November 02, 2011, 11:08:39 am

and the last several time I've tried all I made was a pile of gravel.  We had the youth group over Sunday evening for a campfire and one of the kids that had shown interest in knapping before asked a few more questions.  So, I sat down beside him with a big obsidian flake and showed him the little bit that I know.  That kinda got the itch going again, so I brought my tools to work with me and knocked these 2 out during lunch the past couple of days.

Those are real nice i need to get me some obsidian and give it a try.  The only time i have messed with any was when i first got started and i broke every bit a guy gave me.

If you can bring the bow with you.  There's some real good gamelands right around there.
