Title: new blade- name that stone!
Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on April 30, 2008, 11:27:17 pm
here's my new blade i knapped today. or spear head i suppose. unfortunatly the camera doesnt pick up the fine scar marks. but the scars run well to center. its about 5 inches long.  so now you get to play- name that stone. the winner gets blessed with knowing he\she is a smart cookie. ;D   thanks for checking it out- Ryan

I'm swinging by the house on my way home from work, picking up my Dad and gear and headed that way.  Hope to make it to Springfield, MO tonight and then on into Pappy's on Friday around noonish.
