its been a slow month for knapping with turkey season and all, but the birds are slowing down so i took a break to break some rock, so here's a pair of keokuk points i knocked out this evening.  thanks for looking. - Ryan

hey i heard that flint is from oklahoma, does anyone know where it is naturally occuring?

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
yup i heard OK too,  the keokuk mine....but other than that i have no idea where its at

keekeerun:
TL   Those are very nice.  I worked on some points today and I'M having trouble with step fractures while precussion flakeing my spalls.  I seem to do well with noviculite,  but the keokuk is giving me problems,  I'm making my platforms right,  I just seem to get alot of step fractures. A'm I missing something or is it harder to work than noviculite.

Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
thats funny because i usually have a lot of step fractures with novaculite  but the keokuk works well for me.  who knows, it may be our particualr styles or overall feel for the stone.
