Yup, George. Power is on and off this am - mostly off. Had time to make about half a cup of coffee :(. Your over around Lake Lavon area? We're probably not 50 miles apart..




At home we're lucky and have not had any outages, but our power comes from Greenville.  Not so at work, we had at least 4 this morning.  Yes, we're not that far apart.  I need to bribe you for some knapping lessons, those points are great.  Heck, that broken one would go on one of the bamboo shafts I'm fighting to straighten just fine.  I wouldn't mind tagging along on a flint run if you want company some time.



Better send this before power drops out again.

George: I'd be more than happy to go on a rock run with you or anybody else anytime I can - seems like I'm ALWAYS hauling them rocks by myself ;). A little knapping session is always welcome too.. Thanks everybody for the comments :). Did a few side notchers today. Didn't have that much time - was rounding up firewood, jumping off the trucks, cold weather stuff etc...

No can part with the red stuff. Got that in a trade awhile back with Pete. Not Pete C. but the other Pete, haven't seen him around in awhile. That's actually tile and I only have two peices left :).

Thanks Pappy! I only wasted a couple of drops :D. She doesn't shoot it much, usually only when I mention it. She's getting all excited about going back to TN though :).

Paul, that red stuff is tile?  I guess you can't get it at the local depot store?

Very cool stuff.  Really admire the way you are able to make the long, slender blades!

The red stuff looks like what was jokingly called 'Crawforite' around here. A small gas station in Crawford NE was being torn down and some guys salvaged some red and white tiles from the building.

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Yep, Patrick - it's tile. I would'nt know where to find it but also would'nt mind finding a bunch of it, maybe I can find an old gas station being torn down ;D. You might check out tile stores I would imagine it's out there - prolly high dollar tile. Here's the last remaining two..
