cowboy:
Thanks Dingleberry/ Hawk! Guess it's obvious who has lots of free time on their hands ::).

hawkbow:
Cowboy, where do you get all the flint ? is it growing wild down there or do you go someplace to get it ? we don't have much around here... from the looks of things you don't need much free time to knap out a point bro... you seem to have it down to a art... you done the ancients proud ;D  Hawk...a/ho

cowboy:
Mike: I get most of my flint just SW of San Antonio, it actually is kinda wild :). It's farmland and just looks like a feild of plowed up potatoes - dissapears over the horizon (depending on far down the hill you are :D).

D. Tiller:
Mike, you would be even more impressed if you tried to knapp some of the stuff that Paul works on. Hardest, toughest, nastiest most awnery rock I have ever had the misfortune to cross yet! Of course I have not heat treated it yet! Sledge hammers are suggested for the small stuff, in my humble opinion!  ;D

Paul, did mention it works better with a little heat!   >:D
