Auggie:
Maybe I should asked what cant be knapped.Gonna get D C Waldorfs book and study up.Also wondered about cut slabs or pre forms ?  Something for a novice or no?Any recomendations of a material -rock for a  beginner to start knapping? Thanks for the input guys.

DanaM:
If you live where you can just go outside and pick decent rock up yer all set. Otherwise glass
and toilet tanks are free for the finding.

Coo-wah-chobee:
..........Hmm dont know about "thunder chert"(toilette tanks ! ) Its tough ta work fer a novice but guess it would be good fer practice. Maybe Auggie like Dana said glass er obsidian (volcanic glass ) Obs works easy but beware it will cut ya as soon as look at ya ! They will all cut ya but obsidian has a passion fer it ! :o ;D.....bob

DanaM:
Pain and blood make learning faster >:D
