cowboy:
That almost looks like a hunk a sandstone, it's so grainy :-X. Don't know if it'll work or not - seeing them Parkers beat on that cry-a-lot and getting points out of it, I can honestly say that it might make something ;D.

Hillbilly:
Paul, the rhyolite actually knaps pretty good,  better than raw perd. Did you try any of the quartzite? That's the rough stuff. ;D

mullet:
  Do what Jesse said Dana, It worked for me too. I found 2 milk crates of spalled rock doing it  :o  The hafted ax and adz I brought up was made from stuff similar to that. If you see some kinda pinkish or coca cola brown, you are starting to get "warm".

DanaM:
Thanks for the advice guys but I'm telling ya there just ain't much up here. Come winter I will be knapping Ice Chunks ;D
Think winter starts again in a month or 2 :'(

cowboy:
I tried some quartz I found around here Steve, made one thick point and busted all the rest into sand ;D. James gave me a couple chunks of that Rhyolite - gonna see if I can kill some copper when I get home next week ;D.
