Post by: cowboy on September 04, 2013, 06:59:51 am: Thanks guys. Yes the rock is thick in certain places. One road cut there's balls of flint sticking out about twelve feet up but I can't get it :(. And yes Bob there's cholla everywhere too, mesquite and not much else.

Post by: stickbender on September 06, 2013, 11:47:33 pm: Sheesh! @$#%$*% Trying to get back into the swing of it........ yeah right! >:( I wish I was just half as bad at knapping as you are! I just now got to where, I can run a flake more than a 1/4 of an inch! Still can't work that Texas stuff as I don't have anything to heat treat it with at the moment, and don't have but a small piece or two, and I am going back to Montana the 14th of this month. Anywho, those are just awesome! As usual! Really nice work. My luck, I would get a nice long thin blade like those, and be all excited about it, and end up dropping it, or breaking it into three pieces, just before it is finished! :o :P :(
