Points at work.
« on: July 27, 2010, 06:09:19 pm »
Got the knappin bug the last coupla days at work. These are some rocks handed to me at the Classic. Piece of KY blue from Shannon: had a nice light grey spot in the middle of the rock that I thought was unique, piece of obs from n2: lace I think, and a hunk of keokuk that Timo handed me in the pit one night. have some from others, may do a little more tomorrow.. I haven't made much of anything in the last couple of years but it's like riding a bike, ya never totally forget how.

Great work Cowboy I like them all.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Wow! super cool points and you got paid to make them.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!
