Not too shabby considering it started as a junk of johnstone! One of these days I'm gonna start breaking some of that. Does it actually knap well?

Don, nice work on such a crappy  pc of material ??? ;D  Tracker this is just my personal experience with Johnny stone. It is tuff material to work. The only good thing about it is that it is cheap and plentiful. :o ;D  I hate knapping crapperite. Bob

Yea, Thunder Chert is a pain in the a$$ to knap. Don, you need to be at the Classic and enter the Thunder Bowl.

The thunder chert is a good practice material. It can be tough to get all the
glaze off. It snaps/lops easily. You really have to watch the end hits and prep your platforms. I like the white color and the potential for large blades.
It knapps like a medium quality chert imo.
