Oooh! James is that the pumpkin stuff from Glass Buttes? Nice rock to work isn't it! Not like that Cryolite hard stuff.  ;D

Thanks James. That's quite a fine selection of blades and they all look N.C./Va. authentic. Joffre Coe would be stumped. I am coming down one of these days to get me some rhyolite. PD

Also, that's a killer Hardaway point in that selection. I'd love to make a Hardaway soon, I may go into the Blue Ridge and get some green rhyolite and a few hammestones and see what I can do. Of course I can go on through the gap at Balcony Falls, and Callahan is just 25 miles further on. So I will make that trip too. I am going to call him today for the book. Thanks for the referral it just may change my flintknapping for the better. PD
