Title: DLH flint
Post by: iowabow on May 03, 2011, 07:22:02 pm: DLH FLINT from ky not sure of the name. Nice stuff good to work. I was able to knock many flakes for points from one stone and very little waste. I like the dark green color and it is easy to set up platforms and run thinning flakes. Your stone is very predicable. As a beginner I can say it is a good rock to learn on. It is nice to try different types of flint from around the country.

Looks like you done it justice Iowabow. I managed to make one for Danial and one for myself over the weekend and hope to get my hands on more of it. Green is my favorite color ;D

But I just want to chime in and say it has been a treat watching Iowabow go from
0 - 60 in just one long winter.
I'd say you're a natural, IB, and I can't wait to see what you're doing this time
next year. ;)
