Good god that young man can knapp! I must sit down with him and pick his brain at the classic.

I always thought Elk horn was not usable for knapping. Is there some way to modify it to make it work better as a billet?

 Jesse,  I don't think I've seen that rose quartze. I'm bringing up some Ryolite from New Mexico, it is like knapping glass.

I'm really hoping to learn something from knappers like Jesse at the classic, very nice stuff.
