Title: Wisconsin knapping rocks?
Post by: babbbb007 on September 11, 2008, 03:02:22 pm

Hi all,
I have done some knapping off and on, but would like to actually find my own rock.  Are there any places in Wisconsin anyone knows of to find some?  Specifically near Steven's Point area?  It is mostly all granite or sandstone around here...
