Newbie here
« on: February 22, 2009, 01:04:03 pm »
Well first time finding this forum, looks great!

The name is TJ, born and raised in KY, now in CO for the last 5 years. 19 years old, been interested in primitive skills since forever. Been knapping for about 5 months on and off, recently got into it more and knap maybe 3 times a week. Also made a couple decent bows recently. I look forward to posting here, seems like a cool place.

Here's a picture of somethings I did yesterday, A knife made from pink glass, snapped at the base after hafting. And my first (failed) attempt at a Gunther point for the challenge thread. Will have to work on that. Sorry for the quality, camera is down, had to use scanner.
