A little shade tree knap today.
A tricky piece of Flint River but colorful.

That is a nice point, and I love the colors in Flint River. A friend of mine uses some of it, and I have worked a few of his flakes, and I have slabbed some of it for him.

Thank you gents!

I really like the material myself.
The colors and the neat patterns come at a cost.
The concrete, crystal pockets and bands can make
getting the flakes you want seem impossible.
When things are right the flakes peel off sweetly.
It's a lot like the Thunderbird jasper I knap.
But beware of the lop when you get the bugs out.

Why do the best colors try to hide themselves in the worst rock? Nice point!

Thanks Rog and Patrick,
Perhaps we are talking about the sweet, hard to
get femine side that most of us like to persue.
