I'm not sure who brought this rock to Burlington, maybe Don? It is the prettiest stone I've ever worked. Sadly, I didn't take any pictures of the spall. It had a big crack through the middle so I ended up with a piece not much larger than this point and pretty thick. I fought hard to keep from losing length and width and was very happy to get a point. I sent it home with Sasquatch and he was kind enough to send pictures of it back to me.

What is it? It looks a lot like some stone I bought from an indoor flee market a year or two ago. Stuff heat treaded wonderfully.

George, I believe there was a chunk or two of Mook that I picked up from Patrick a couple months ago.
-
Ah, that makes sense. Sure was nice, both to look at and to knapp. Thanks for the kind words.
I'm back at Burlington and have already made one point. Miss Ellen has somebody coming over for me to knapp with. Come on up if you have the time tomorrow and the weather holds.

huh, so it was some TX stone then. It was sure a pleasure to play with. I would love to get some more. Just have to keep my eyes open.

Beautiful point George, didn't see that one before we left. Just to let you know I mail you all out a striker Friday, so be looking. Sorry Tower I didn't get an address before I left but have one made for you too. If you PM me I'll mail it out.

Ah, thanks for the correction.

Found a chunk if it again. Definitely untreated mookite. The stuff heat treats like crazy. I wish I had tried it before I started chipping, it was a good sized piece. Thanks again Outbackbob48 for the correction and source for more. Might just have to get a hold of him after moving.

Mike, John (mookalline) Cappeline attends alot of knapin in the east. Letchworth, NY, Bald Eagle, Pa. Flint Ridge,Ohio. Where are you moving to, an hope to see you at a knappin. Bob
-
Staying in Maine. There's only one knap-in here and it's past. No one was selling rock. But my mentor, Dick Doyle Jr. does attend Letchworth, so I'm sure if I gave him some cash I could get him to buy some for me.

that is really unique looking. what an awesome set of primitive arrows that would make.
