Kind of a toss up on which I envy the most. The time knapping or the fact that you can walk down the hill and pick up more rock to knapp?
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

I am sounding kinda bad.   Anyway I got tired of knapping so I chased a ring and ran this log through the bandsaw.   Got it close to floor tillering.  I know it is not flint knapping but it is part of my solo knapin event pictures.

They are both heat treated. I Scott and I have been picking up creek sorted stone and that stuff can have many different colors from the different minerals in the soil.

Thanks, I really like the the nsn it may be my faverite point of all styles.

The solo knapin is going great and so far no complaints! I did get a vist via text from stringman and Will H so that was great lots of advice and all anyway spend the better part of the day on the following.  I have to start getting ready for the bow fishing part of the week will take picture and post tonight.
