Title: my first bunch of heads
Post by: BOWMAN53 on November 02, 2013, 09:08:26 pm
Bubby generously sent me a flint knapping starters kit, thanks Pauly. And now I'm addicted!!!!

This is my best one, oddly enough its was also my first one.

Arrows are my next hobby to learn.

Be sure and keep those. If you keep knapping, you will enjoy looking back one day. You did a great job by the way and made the most of your starter kit. Sounds like you caught the bug.

lol bandaids? i just apply pressure, wait for the bleeding to stop then start knapping again. i dont think ive used bandaids since  i was a kid.
