Title: For Joe York
Post by: Pat B on September 09, 2015, 12:55:11 am

Joe ask me to post these pics for him. This is some of Joe's knapping...

This is a picture of Mike "Hawk" Huston and Robert Red Hawk.  They
are the two best primitive hunters I know.  The blade is maybe one of the
best I ever made and the arrow head is one I shot a bear with in Canada

This is a picture of some of the points I have not given away!  The
knife in the center has skinned seven elk, two moose, two bears, and one
deer.  The stone is Piute Agate I got a long time ago from Richardson's Rock
Ranch in Oregon while attending a knappin there.  It is one of the best
knapping stones I have ever found.  The green point towards the bottom is a
agate/jasper stone from Mt. St. Helens and is also a fun stone to work

This skinner is Rosevelt agate from the Columbia Gorge.  The scale is
caribou and the butt cap is hippo ivory.  Its going out to my friend in
Yakama

I don't remember which knapping I got this stone from and all I got
out of it was this one blade.  The arrow head was the one I shot the bear in
Canada with.  Only thing I ever shot out of a tree stand!

Thanks for all the comments.  I find it tough to make the small points now as my hand and wrist strength has gone away.  I still like to see what is hiding in a rock!  Getting ready to head to Canada for moose and have not been to the hills for elk.  Joe
