My last couple of days knappin.
« on: January 19, 2010, 06:16:08 pm »
Finally got some quality time in the pit ;). A blade of Edwards, a cohokia of cilicified somethinorother, an afton of Georgetown, and a dove tail from some kay county I got in a trade from Timo. Anybody heard from Timo? I was gonna punch notch that dove tail but it stalled and so did I  ::), decided it looked purty enough and quit. Hopefully more to come...

You are absolutely correct Jesse. I knew it was something that started with a K ;D. Good to hear from ya David - been a long time. Thank ya Justin and that's an afton Tim, somthing I've been wanting to make for awhile now just had to sit down and do it. I wish you'd show up it ya want a bucket of debitage or three ::).

Yup, steps everywhere Dana. I really don't know how that one didn't break in half with the big flaw running through the upper half.

Thanks Shannon! Afton - that's what I was trying to tell ya awhile ago with the swooping in concave sides. Hopefully I can make a pine tree like you one of these days ;D.
