Tonight's Knapping
« on: May 23, 2011, 01:24:48 am »
Spent about an hour making small rocks out of big rocks.  Oregon obsidian from Glass Buttes.  I like the serrations and length of barbs.  It is a thin, delicate little point.  It was an enjoyable project.

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!!!
