Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Hi, I just stick together shafts, flights and point which I've bought. Although last year I cut some Hazel wands and made one just to see how it was.

Nice job.  One of these days I'll sit down with some flint and see if i have what it takes to make good stone points.....probably lots of my own blood, sore fingers...etc  ;)

Hard to stop once you get started.

Yes it is I only made 1 bow since I started knapping!  I have a few that need some tillering but will wait for a rainy day!
