 Nice, Paul. I like that long, skinny one. That is some cool looking rock, too.

Thanks Eddie! That one just almost got chunked. It was one of those you think is a waste - squared off and not very wide. Peck,peck,peck and I came up with a toothpick. That hunk of cortex in the middle wasn't helping either but makes it look cool :). Love this stuff, wish I could go back..

And this is all stuff that you got out of that creekbed in Indiana? I'm in Indiana myself, I think I have been overlooking some killer rock!

Awesome chipping, by the way!  I only dream that one day I could knap like that.

It's down there CP, Southern IN. It works as well if not better than that Georgetown from TX - which is the best texas has to offer as far as I know.

Sweet! Is there any tell-tale signs to know for sure if it has the hornstone inside? I notice that you have to break the rocks open to get to the goodies in the inside, is that the only way to know?
