Shout out to outback bob

(1/3) > >>

timmyd:
Just wanted to put a public shout out to MR. Bob. Invited me and my boy to his tent at the flintridge knapin to learn knapping. I watched him make a blade as he described each blow/flake and why he was hitting where he was etc. After the blade was done I grabbed a flake and he worked with me on getting a point out of it. As luck would have it I snapped it at the end but at least for the first time I felt confident that I had a few basics and general knowledge down to get me on my way. Well came back home and knapped this point out while a pork butt and ribs were on the smoker. It's not near perfect or at the level you all are at but I think it looks good on the end of this river cane shaft and I hope to take a deer with it this year. Thank you sir for taking the time to pass it on. I hope to do the same some day

RickB:

Russ:
 (A) (as i compare my first arrowhead to your first i am amazed at how quick you caught on, so i compare it to m the ones i make now, im even more impressed but to still stay proud of mine i say) - "nice"
