Hey any of you guys that are coming to the classic and have good nappin rocks in your local area, bring some with you and I'll trade a Osage stave for it at the classic.
-
Okee dokeee I will be sitting on top of that pile of rock Pappy had hauled in, so just bring a bunch of hedge ok
and I will even help ya load it up ;D ;D ;D
-
I'm probably bringing both sage and flint to trade. For what I don't know - beer?? ;D.
-
I might be able to round up some coral, but you might not like me after you start beating on it.
-
hey mullet can ya bring some of that G.A chert to?
-
Man, too bad I'm driving my little Mazda 3 to the Classic. I guess I can trade for stuff I can fit in the glove box. :(

Was on my way home today and dicided to stop by the flint feilds and load up some perdinales for the classic (didn't want to deplete my private stash too much ;D). I'll trade some I reckon - will prolly give most of it away :).

Leapingbare, I'm low on rock right now. I only have one big piece of Ga.Fint River left.
-

Otoe

Dang Paul I think ya could have gotten a few more in the truck, it doesn't appear to be squattin yet :D

EEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!! Its the had stuff!!! RUN FOR THE HILLS BOYS! ;D
-
We got harder stuff in the hills! ;D Pat
-
Yep, we need to bring tiller some quartzite and porphorytic rhyolite. ;D
-
Yep, I'll be there - even if the creek does rise ;D. That's about an hour worth of pickin and boppin, couldn't locate the farmer this time and you have to drive about a mile across his place (in the wide open) to get to that hill - his corn was already startin to sprout so I was a little uneasy about being there walking around. You know how them land owners can be :D..
-
Cowboy could you repost new pic to include your tag number? Just wanting to make sure I raid the right truck at the Classic. >:D :-X>:D :-X>:D ;D ;D
-
rhiolite thats what i learned to nap on ,, rhiolite from Ashburo N.C big wood billits and lots of blisters. ;D
-
Whelp, I spalled and bi-faced a bunch of that today - will get a bucket or so worth treated up for the classic. Whatever I load in the back of the truck (raw) will be fair game - just watch the paint :D. You'll recognize it Marshrat, there'll be a crowd gathered around :D..
-
Leapin, Did you learn from James Parker? I believe thats all you can use on rhyolite. :o ;) Pat
-
That green rhyolite from around Asheboro is primo stuff-one of my favorite rocks to work.
-
Cowboy, when are you getting into Pappy`s, i need to rearrange my schedule so i will get there 10 mins before ya.... ;D..you now you should take care of us new knappers...carrying on the tradition and all..lol.
Bishop
-
Bishop I will still be there before ya ;)
-
I dunno, I'll hand everyone a rock ta make sure everyone has a sample - then i'm going to get the heck out of the way :D ;D..
-
id probably just end up breaking it down to something smaller than a bird point that has sort of a point on it but way to thick.....im getting pretty good at that.... ;D
Bishop
-
Bishop, I thought that was the object of the game-at least that's the style I make, too. ;D
-
yes Pat B i lerned from James.
Hey hillbilly i steal got a bunch of the green stuff maby you can talk me off of some of it. :)
-
LB-I'd like to-I love that stuff for making hunting points. James is the man. Most of what little I know about knapping I learned from watching him.
-
Hillbilly, we cant be makin the same kind of points....maybe ill make the "man this is looking good im finally going to knap a good one, then break it in half" point my trademark.... ;D
Bishop
-
Man i dug about 300lbs of good flint hills flint the other day and as me and my budy were loading the last of it in the truck a game Worden came by and said we could not remove rock from FT Riley... :-\ and made us dump it all out.. i think i will do a covert opps mission one night before i PCS to campbell next week.
Hillbilly that green riolite naps easy but its some of the strongest rock i know.. i shot at a turkey one time with a riolite point , missed and hit a oak tree and buried that point over 2'' deep in the tree. i had to leave it there i could not get it out.
So hillbilly you ever do any work shops at the Scheal Museum?
-
leapingbare, man that sucks....they are pretty particular about the rules out there on the fort arent they....I believe the Corp of Engineers has the same kind of rules out here around the lake.
Bishop
-
Its not illegal ifin ya don't get caught ;)
-
LB, I haven't had a chance to do any of the Schiele workshops, but my friend Barry has went through a bunch of them. Yep, that's what I like about the green stuff, tough as nails, but it gets good and sharp. Them rhyolite points are bone-splitters.
-
I've met Barry, i ant seen him in over 3 years though. Been over a year since I've seen James too although i heard him and Becka moved to the hills. The Army realy keeps me outa the loop these days.
-
Only 300 lbs! Small stuff!!! You must come out to OR and dig obsidian with us. Easiest knapping on the face of the earth. Just a light tap and large flakes come falling off like butter. I'm still smarting from trying to spall out Cowboys flint. The boppers will never be the same!
-
D. tiller your spoiled ;D
-
I think he is,we will break him of that at the Classic. ;) ;D I plan on keeping him up late and getting him up early and see if he really wants to be a bow builder. ;D
Pappy
-
Yea I'm ganna give him a piece of Riolite and a big woodin billet ;D
-
Bring it on! ;D
Rhiolite eh? well just need to bring out the steel hammers for that stuff then. Plastic explosives should work ok for spalling that stuff from what I hear. Little blobs along the edge where you want flakes to come off and daisy chain em together. Flaking made easy! ;D
I swear people seem to be flaking off around here these days! >:D
Looking forward to seeing you guys! By the way, at the Buttes we were getting up arround 5 or 6 to start getting ready for the day. Should be no problem! Just have a cup of coffee waiting outside my tent flap and I'll forgive ya! ;D

Spoiled and smells like potpourri soap. He is going to have to wash the raspberry lotion of his hands so he can hold on to the billet and swing it hard enough to break that Riolite. >:D Justin
-
Justin, at least I smell good and the ladies love me! ;D
