Flint trade BITH?
« on: October 02, 2016, 09:48:01 am »
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a BITH
A medium flat rate box of stone swap?  It's been a few years since we have done it.
Would anyone be interested?

This is looking like a pretty short list. 
The name drawings looking pretty simple

I'll leave it up another week before we swap

So I would just fill a medium FR box --which is what, like 12 or 15 dollars full of rock and then someone would send me one too?  I have obsidian.  Mostly pretty lumpy, but definitely workable.  would that qualify?

I'd play, but I'm a little low on supply.

Nothing wrong with a lil obsidian or dacite .
It's all about the trading of lithic materials

Count me in then, but I need some advice on how to pack it so the obsidian doesn't beat itself to pieces before it arrives.

I am a newbie. What does PITH. stand for?   Can I participate? I have heat treated small pedernales and some flint ridge heated in the turkey roaster. Probably some obsidian

Knapping....If your hobby does not consume you then you have no hobby.

PITH  stands for Point in the hat. It's a point swap we seem to do every spring.
Your more that welcome to join in on the BITH.
The more the merrier.

i wish I had some rock that was worth a hoot, everything I have left looks like it has concrete mixed in it. Even I don't want to work it, but it may find its way into my junk pile.

Don Ive been on the fence to join or not. Do we send a bunch of the same or a mixed lot? How does the crowd prefer? Should we wait and ask our recipient, or just send blind?

I'm going to send a mixed lot of what I like to knap. Kind of a sample of Centeral Texas material . I'm ok with you asking your recipient.  If it were me a big box of your Burlington would be just fine.
