 Russell, finding other knappers and talking to them and watching them work is the best way to learn. Most knappers I know don't mind passing their knowledge and techniques with others interested in learning. The knapping pit at the Tenn Classic is a fine example. You'll leave with way more than you came with.  :-K   :KN   :OK

I am in Iowa.  My family is from Aurora, NE so I know the area pretty well.  I came over for the day to see the artifact show and do a little knapping.  Beautiful country you have out there that far west in NE.  I worked for a summer in Lewellen, NE.

I kinda feel pretty central to alot of the knappers I know, theres people to the north, east, and west of me that knap. maybe next year we do a little knap in at the artifact show?  (lol) (lol)

I also got scouted to knap next year at the show. they emailed me asking me if i could knap next year. gonna be fun!
