Man i dug about 300lbs of good flint hills flint the other day and as me and my budy were loading the last of it in the truck a game Worden came by and said we could not remove rock from FT Riley... and made us dump it all out.. i think i will do a covert opps mission one night before i PCS to campbell next week.
   Hillbilly that green riolite naps easy but its some of the strongest rock i know.. i shot at a turkey one time with a riolite point , missed and hit a oak tree and buried that point over 2'' deep in the tree. i had to leave it there i could not get it out.
  So hillbilly you ever do any work shops at the Scheal Museum?

leapingbare, man that sucks....they are pretty particular about the rules out there on the fort arent they....I believe the Corp of Engineers has the same kind of rules out here around the lake.

Its not illegal ifin ya don't get caught

LB, I haven't had a chance to do any of the Schiele workshops, but my friend Barry has went through a bunch of them. Yep, that's what I like about the green stuff, tough as nails, but it gets good and sharp. Them rhyolite points are bone-splitters.

I've met Barry, i ant seen him in over 3 years though. Been over a year since I've seen James too although i heard him and Becka moved to the hills. The Army realy keeps me outa the loop these days.

Only 300 lbs! Small stuff!!! You must come out to OR and dig obsidian with us. Easiest knapping on the face of the earth. Just a light tap and large flakes come falling off like butter. I'm still smarting from trying to spall out Cowboys flint. The boppers will never be the same!

D. tiller your spoiled 

[Pappy]

I think he is,we will break him of that at the Classic. I plan on keeping him up late and getting him up early and see if he really wants to be a bow builder.

Yea I'm ganna give him a piece of Riolite and a big woodin billet 

[D. Tiller]

Bring it on! 

Rhiolite eh? well just need to bring out the steel hammers for that stuff then. Plastic explosives should work ok for spalling that stuff from what I hear. Little blobs along the edge where you want flakes to come off and daisy chain em together. Flaking made easy! 

I swear people seem to be flaking off around here these days! 

Looking forward to seeing you guys! By the way, at the Buttes we were getting up arround 5 or 6 to start getting ready for the day. Should be no problem! Just have a cup of coffee waiting outside my tent flap and I'll forgive ya!

Spoiled and smells like potpourri soap.  He is going to have to wash the raspberry lotion of his hands so he can hold on to the billet and swing it hard enough to break that Riolite.   Justin
