Knapping with my buddies
« on: August 24, 2016, 08:27:36 pm »
My buddies and I  try to get together every couple years.(we lost one since last time) thought it was time to do it again. We spent 3 days and nights in the woods. Showed them how to do some knapping. Here's some of the things I made.

Nothing like chipping around the Campfire. Those look good. :)

Thanks guys. I feel I really improved my knapping skills while my buddies where here. Partly because I just plain knapped more, but mostly because I slowed down and showed them where and why I was going to take my next flake. Eddie I really did enjoy the time spent around the campfire.

Thanks Redhand, Thanks Knapper I really like my quiver to. It's just rawhide and still my prototype but I think I'm going to sew my muskrat knife sheath on my mink quiver and maybe put a string with a wood toggle to hold my finger tab. I like the fur in, the arrows don't fall out or rattle and helps protect tips.

Yah Rob we really did. Probably good thing we don't do it every day I don't think I can handle that much fun every day if you know what I mean.
