Dang, you paid a Dollar for that old thing? Are you going to finish it?
-
I dropped a few tickets on that one
-
yep. :)
???
not me

That's where my money went. It would have looked so good in my collection. That beautiful piece of historical knapping was not used as a weapon from what James said but was used as a double handed cutting tool. Not saying that it wouldn't put quite the hole in whatever it was forced in to. It was fun watching James work through the process while everyone else wondered what he was doing.

Very informational demo and beautiful results, Thanks James. Bob
-
That is a great looking piece of work. Congratulations on winning.
-
I'am feel honored to have it

Beautiful. that thing is plain beauty
-
Every time I sit down with James I learned something. This year was no exception.
-
Scott, didn't you leave before this one was completed? Watching James call his shots and work towards them will take you along, one step at a time.
I've been watching James knap for many year. Most of the shoots I've gone to over the years James was there knapping. He is very generous with his knowledge and techniques and seems to love showing others how to do it.
-
I got to watch the first half, but didn't get to watch him finish pressure flaking. Good stuff indeed!
-
Really cool dagger for sure.
-
Same thing happened to me Scott. Saw the first half and then called it a night. Turned out beautiful, just too bad he didn't finish it! ;D
I'm going to try to do more to pursue abo knapping going forward.

That hilariously crazy hillbilly fellow that made us play flint knapping roulette for 3 hours is a notoriously famous master knapper. :o :o :o
I wouldn't have guessed. Heck of a nice guy, and quite a comical character to boot.
I should have come back down to the pit after I got the family tucked in, but the warm dry sleeping bag proved irresistible. It would have been neat to see him knap. Oh well, next year I suppose.
-
Nice, James is a killer knapper and a great guy. Was bummed I couldn't make it this year. Nice score.
-
Stayed Sunday night and knapped awile with James. Picked a few nuggets out of the pit.

That is a beautiful piece of work ' Frank

I got to watch the whole process. Enjoyed every minute of it. Always try to be in the pit when Parker is in there working. Learn something new each time, usually more then I can remember. LOL
I dropped a few dollars in on that one. There aren't many of those out there. It would have also looked good in my collection. I won his large abo biface last year.
James Parker is definitely a gooder!! dpg
