Title: Don't ya just hate it when....
Post by: FlintWalker on October 31, 2009, 12:50:20 am

You get one finished and drop it >:(
  This was a pine tree.  Really, I didn't even cuss. Spit happens :-\

 I have managed to NOT drop a few lately.  Mostly just hunting points.  The Newnan is from a piece of coral Leapingbare gave me. He also gave me that coastal plains I made that corner notched point from.
 Come to think of it.. he gave me that rock I made the Pine tree from too.  Thanks Jesse ;D
  The rest are Texas rock.

  Oh BTW, I got the Texas rock from Cowboy, so thank you to Paul ;)

Ouch that sucks! Very nice work. I usually end up breaking them when I notch them, or during a final thinning.

I was told that it was coastal plains. I'll just have to take Leapingbares word for it cause I don't know.  That Pine tree is Kay County.  I glued the pieces I could find back together.  I wish I could find the rest of it.

Dang man i have done that a few times... if you have watched me knapp, sometimes when i am doing the finishing touches on a point I'll have my knapping pad laying on the ground betwen my legs to catch the point when i drop it.

 That sure looks like butterscotch. I left some in the knapping pit when I left the Classic.
