Went over to Claude VanOrders Saturday afternoon. Wayne(stickbender) came over from Port St.Lucie. When we got there Roger(bonepile), Hugh, a frequent weekend visitor at Claudes and myself and Claude. We chipped some rock, had some funny conversation and hands on instruction by one of the best knappers in The South.I took some pictures of the group but my camera got switched to high deffinition so I can't post pictures of this fine looking group of Rogues. And Rogers beard is as long or maybe longer than PatB's.
Well I took some pictures of some of the points I worked on Saturday.

Just for Pat, and BonePile's info, I understand, that Massy Ferguson is makeing a new razor, just in time for the Christmas Holidays.
I understand that it not only cuts the whiskers, but bundles them in little bales......Just thought I would let them know about that......A lighter does wonders for that also......as I once found out when I was in High School, and had a little gotee, growing, during the last days of summer vacation, and a Friend of mine reached over with his lighter, and my beard disappeared in flames, and smelly smoke.

Ahh, you mean the one that broke and was turned into a knife :), The first one, odsidean, is sporting some deep notches now. It was getting late and dark Saturday and didn't want to start notching then.

I can't help but think ZZ top ;D. I used to grow a beard starting every Sep, but since it about all turned grey I've kept it shaved off, I might make a good santa one of these days :).
