Title: It did'nt break, VB
Post by: _Jon_ on May 04, 2009, 08:12:12 pm
Hey VB and Dana, it did not break.  :)

Finished this today for my son who's in Iraq.

I'm new at knapping so I'm working on preforms.  However this stuff can be addicting.   ;D

I'll do that soon as I finish it.  :)

Ryan and I just ran out of time.  He was spending so much time helping me on it I felt guilty.  He was there with family and I know his time was precious.

I need to finish the tiller first off.  Soon as I find out when Pappy's gonna be at Twin Oaks I'm gonna head that way and get back to work.

Ryan sure knows how to make em, the thing is a beauty so far.

     Dang, Jon, that is great!  I start out ok, but end up with a micro point, or a debris pile!  I would love to make one like that.! 8)
