Jamie ,make it down to the Classic and I will give you one,Jesse only got a couple ,I kept the rest and I don't nap.

Figured they would make good trade goods. or just good will.

You know it's all about sharing the wealth.

Good god that young man can knapp! I must sit down with him and pick his brain at the classic.

I always thought Elk horn was not usable for knapping. Is there some way to modify it to make it work better as a billet?

thanks guys.
Eddie the one is some ruff novaculite and the other is that man made rose quarts.

Jesse, I don't think I've seen that rose quartze. I'm bringing up some Ryolite from New Mexico, it is like knapping glass.

I'm really hoping to learn something from knappers like Jesse at the classic, very nice stuff.
