Some knapper rocks
« on: September 14, 2013, 05:40:22 pm »
David was kind enough to do a trade with me for some of this Johns Valley stuff. Takes a bit to get used to. I think it's a shale. Anyway here's two.

Cool looking points, Paul. Looking at it I'm not sure it's Shale, either. I like that white rock in the picture to, thanks.

Solid work Paul!
 I'd be willing to trade you some rare rocks for some big solid pieces of TX flint.  Dagger size stuff.  ;)  Something to think about.

Cowboy,
 WOW!!!!!!!Man I need a leason. Maybe when George puts together a knap-in? I havent had as much luck with that rock but still like the way it looks and works. There is some shale around here but is way different than that rock, its very soft and layered. Those points look absolutely beautiful.
