Thanks guys!

Hawk: yep, one of the many ways Kaolin can look. It's one like Flint Ridge...there is soooo many color and quality variations of it.

I’m gonna go against everyone, that second one has such nice scarring and just looks like what I would be proud to show off. The first is a cool material and the flute did really well!

Good job! I can’t wait for the snow to melt and the nights to be warm so I can knap again.

Southern Illinois?  Interesting.  I saw you are in St. Charles - I lived a little north of you growing up.

You should hook up with Keith Syers sometime when you head south.  He is in the area in Kentucky - right on the other side of the river.

Parnell: I grew up in Springfield, IL. Moved to the Chicago suburbs around 18 and went to college in southern IL so I have roots all over this state. Usually when I'm down south I'm traveling that way for a knap in though.
