jamie:
what needs to be done to dover before knapping. recieved a couple big chunks from a bud and knocked off a couple dozen big spalls but havent gotten to any flaking yet. heat treat or no. water or no. let me know peace

cowboy:
Never worked any Jamie - wish I knew :-\.

jamie:
im gonna try heating it next week. its very chalky and even the best platforms tend to crumble.

mullet:
  Jamie, I think if you cook it at the Temp's I was talking about it should be okay.

Hillbilly:
Jamie, I haven't worked a lot of Dover, but the better grades knap good raw. Some of the chalky stuff would probably improve with a little heat.
