Emory always amazes me with his skill! Hey Keenan, you going to GB this year? Cant make it. Too much going on up here. Wish I could make it!

     Keenan, the points that I saw at Emory's, were amazing.  He has a room full of cases, of arrowheads, and doodles, he made out of obsidian, flint, and what ever material he came across that would knapp.  He has tiny little arrow heads, made out of garnets, that were made into ear rings.  There is nothing wrong with his arrow heads, they are perfect in symmetry, and VERY thin! :o  He has no problem making em thin, or of any style.  He just likes to make the big stuff also, but he does make a lot of arrow heads, and other interesting stuff.  I had to keep pushing my mouth closed, every time he would bring out another case.  Unfortunately my camera was acting up, and the battery ran out of juice, so I didn't get the shots I wanted, or all the pictures I wanted.

     Thanks Dana M !  I appreciate it.  The two obsidian daggers, he is holding in the picture right after the 42 inch unfinished pumpkin Obsidian blade, are spiral daggers! :o  You can't see it in the picture unfortunately, but the blades spiral around like a corkscrew!  it is hard enough working Obsidian as brittle as it is, especially on large objects, and to keep the spiral symmetrical to boot! :o  Those eagles are thin too!  :o I can't even make a blade without breaking it, in Obsidian! :( :'(  And in the picture of the case with the Eagles, and arrow heads, and doo dads, the dark arrow heads to the right are Garnet!  :o He made some into earing's.  8) He had cases of stuff like this, but my camera went on the blink, and I couldn't get any more pictures.  :( But if any of you ever get out to Oregon, trust me on this, it will be well worth while to stop in Burns, and meet Emory, and his Dad.  The whole yard is nothing but Obsidian boulders, and various kinds of other rock, jasper, flint, etc., front and back, and sides!!  And be ready to have your jaw drop to the ground when he shows you some of his stuff! He is absolutely amazing, and he doesn't think it is anything to write home about, he is proud of his work, but that is the extent of it.  He just enjoys doing that kind of work, and he has been doing it for so long, it doesn't seem like any particular big deal to do it anymore.  I will definitely be going back out to see him again.  Gotta get more rock anyway.  Gave it all away. ;D
Eddie, you shouldn't be razzing Jesse about hearing the whip.  It is bad enough having a leash on, without having to hear a whip too! ;D ;D ;D

emory has a whole lot of skill...i love his collection of jasper points....the main reason emory is so good is that if he didnt chip rock he would go crazy in burns...and if you been to burns you would know why....john
