I hope you're not easily frustrated ::)
 Knapping this stuff is not relaxing for me.  When I come across a spot I just can't get to move...I'll usaully hit it till it does >:D

Cool! Really nice point, man you're getting good. That looks like some really good grade Tallahatta, too-doesn't have all those sand pockets. That stuff makes great hunting points.

I'd love to go to some knap-ins (only been to one :(), but my work schedule and family time just doesn't allow me to get away for long.  Plus, it seems that most of them fall in the spring and when spring time rolls around...I'm turkey hunting!

I think you may be stretching things a bit there Paul ::)  But...Aim high, if you fall a little short, you'll still be way up there. ;D

Very nice looking point!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Turkey season comes in the 15th.  The knap in is 12-14.  I would love to see how you do your serrations.  Bill
