First off let me say I don't post to often. And I'm a bowyer at heart. This is one of the first post I check when I get on PA with that said. I've knaped for years and I do it when ever my hearts into it. But have to many other hobbies. And it's knapping ended up aways down the trail. But I'll always did it and enjoyed it. Over the years my favoret time has turned to the spring. While gobbler hunting on a far away ridge or along a pasture in the warm morning. And I'm just waiting and listening. Knapping just seams right to me. Before it know it hours have passed it I don't get rudly dissturbed. Besides if a gobbler gobbles on his own in the late morning he's alone and looking. If I'm lucky he'll die from a rock I chipped on another spring morning.
I know all of you have a favoret time. WHAT ARE THEY.

When I get home from work. I grab a beer and head for the rock pile.

Sunday afternoon after church. I also have a house & property in the Texas hill country I love to knapp there with a cousin & younger brother.

My favorite time is every time I get a chance to do it. I try to knap as often as possible. I have been studying books and videos and applying the techniques as I learn them. Seems to help alot. I spend alot of freetime knaping.

My favorite time - and I know it in my heart is in the summer. When the sun is shining and it's around 80 to 100 degrees. I don't know why but that's what I prefer and the sun show's off those flakes better :).
