Post by: Bone pile on May 29, 2010, 05:45:47 pm

I know everyone thinks skinning and meat cutting when stone tools are discussed.Well me and my better half went picking madders today and got us a bunch,here's some .

Well looking at the fruits of our labor I suddenly got the urge for a big juicy madder sandwich.I thought it would be cool to make a knife and get to eatin' a few .I dug out a chunk of that ledge flint we got last weekend and made this knife

Nice Roger, and yes I will get you some rock tomorrow. Your the one that lives in a "rock challenged" area, not I.

Folks, those tomato`s are now selling at the U-pick farms for $1 a bucket load.Everything is blooming late and the markets are already flooded, same with our Blueberries here and Strawberries were the same a few months ago. That freeze we had for 2 weeks really hurt the farmers, of course we had over 30+ sinkholes just within a few miles of my house from all the farmers over watering to protect the crops
