Title: I'm trying.
Post by: Tower on January 30, 2016, 09:52:27 am

Ok Gentlemen, I've been taking a shot at Abo knapping .
I think it has set me back a few years compared to my copper points .
I will say I do enjoy the challenge, but not the anxiety & frustration.
Here is my latest Abo point . Not my best point by far.

Looks good to me. Stone and bone knapping is not for everyone.

I've been abo knapping 7 years and can't do any better.  I would be very happy with that.

Pretty terrible.  Still probably better than my copper points! ;D
