knapping with a freind
« on: July 19, 2019, 12:47:30 am »
I spent the last few days in Houston and got to spend a little time knapping with a friend.
Here's what I made.

It's always great to knap with a friend. I enjoy it even if they don't knap. Just showing them and explaining to them what your trying to do really makes a person slow down and think about flake removal and platforms.
I'd love to sit down some time and knap with you 1442. Pretty sure I could learn a lot and have fun doing it.

I'd love to sit and knap with you sometime Bjrogg. It would be knapping with a friend again, and I would learn a lot too I'm sure.

Great points 1442! I cant knap for 2 weeks cause i keep getting cut and my mom "needs a break" from it. Kinda freaked my mom out with the last cut.

I got a nice little spot right on the shore of Lake Huron.

Jeb, I'm about 5 hours East of San Antonio right on the Texas/Louisiana border near the coast.
April is the Niblets bluff knap in just across the river in Loisiana.
Lets see whats it like when you get close to coming down to Texas and see if we can figure out a  plan to get together, here or there or somewhere in between. I know someone who lives in San Antonio that has lots of rocks from around the area there.
BJ, that sounds like a really nice place to come and hang out with y'all.
I'm gonna put it on my list of things I really want to do some day and maybe it could happen.
The wife and I are hoping to build a house soon, and if I can get that done, I will be a lot more able to take off on such an adventure as that.
