I hope that's a keeper even for you!

Excuse my ignorance, but where is the "Flint River" from?
It looks alot like a coastal plain?

Post by: leapingbare on November 04, 2009, 05:27:32 pm: yea he called me up and said.. "when am i going to get some flint river."
But yea i think i am going to hang on to most of it.. I like it because it solid and dose not have cracks and there large pieces.. i mean i got one blank that it 18-20'' long and 10-12'' wide.. i hope to make a large dagger outa that piece.
