NC rhyolite
« on: December 22, 2013, 02:51:19 pm »
Hi folks,
I am new here. I have been knapping for quite a while.
I am looking for some good quality North Carolina Rhyolite.
I will be traveling north to south sometime between Christmas
and New Years Day. I am willing to pay or dig for some good size stuff.
Thanks for any help or advise.
Merry Christmas all, Zuma

Try to get in touch with James Parker, robustus on this site, he has some good stuff or can point you in the right direction.

Hey thanks Eddie, I will try and contact him.
I am still getting familiar with the site.

Bob, I hear ya about the toughness of the lithic.
I must have gotten a couple premo boulders that I made these with.
They were big so I got some awesome spalls off the outer coretex.
Harder to do as I got deeper into the rock. The big ones are 71/2" and
thinner than they look. lol

Paul, thanks for the endorsement.

Thanks hunter,
I was hoping to trade heat treated jasper but time is running out.
Looks like the weather may take control.

Well I am sitting here in Ashboro NC.
In the morning I will attempt to find the Baucom/Hardaway site.
I have always been intrigued by the research done there.
Here is a link--The Baucom Hardaway Site Project
Happy New Year all, Zuma

Here's James email;  parkerflint-knapper@skybest.com.  And we all got pigs. lost a couple arrow shot when the rain started and lost blood trails so we went to rifles. I got one of James new horn-bow hybrids and a bamboo backed ipe, osage, recurve, both covered in Cobra snake skin.

It was hard landing this sucker. Cleaning it is another kettle of fish.

Hey Zuma, it was nice talking to you. Sorry about the abrupt end to the call but my battery died. Nice chunk of rock you got there! Hope you're able to get some more.
