DanaM:
Awesome points Robert, that agate is really striking.

Hillbilly:
Robert, wow! nice chippin'-you're gonna give me an inferiority complex  ;D. I'm with Eddie, the brown blade looks like Coastal Plains chert. You need to come down to the TN Classic and give us some lessons.

flecha:
Man!  You do AWESOME work!!! I love it! 

I also love your pictures.  Would you please tell me about how you took your pictures.  What set up did you use?

Otoe Bow:
Man oh man.  Those are sweet.  Knappin in one of my new favorite hobbies.  This just pushes me further and harder.

Thanks everyone for the comments,, it's a hobby that I really enjoy and push myself to make a nice piece of art...... I have a 5 gallon bucket of rejects I have thrown back over the years .

Yank, That flint will spoil, you better send it to me  ;)

Hillbilly, I Wish I could make it to the Classic, but work keeps me from going............It could be coastal plains, he had a few different color of it , some of it wasn't heated enough and this piece could have used a little more heat but will make a more durable blade.

Fletcha, To get the good close up images I use a dowel rod sharpened on one end , push it in the ground and place the point on top of the dowel ,, select macro on your camera, have a good natural lighting source  and shoot away................Macro really means a lot when taking close up images as does natural lighting.
