ontarioknapper:
and the rock they came from. I knapped these last month

turbo:
Nice job, all abo knapped? And do I see some Onondaga underneath? W/ your forum name I'd suspect it is. I'd like to get some higher quality Onondaga someday. It's been years since I took a whack at some, love the oil smell.

ontarioknapper:
Thanks! I find obsidian knaps best with antler, the flaker I used is the one in the pic. I use a copper or large deer antler bopper to take a large flake off the stone to begin with. You have I good eye! That is some Onondaga, I found some down by Lake Erie earlier this year, and bought some at a powwow not long ago. My problem is finding the good quality flint. I could post a pic of some Ontario Jasper? if that's what it is, maybe you could tell me, someone  said it was and I'm not an expert, but I know it knaps nice.

turbo:
Sure, I don't know that I've seen Ontario jasper but I'd like to see a picture. We had some nice jasper in PA and some has been posted on this site by 'ghostknapper'.

riverrat:
