I have so many cuts on my arms and hands, you would think I got in a fight with a cat. This knapping stuff is addictive. Problem is, I am having a tough time finding a good place to do it. Glass shards everywhere. Do you have any of that georgtown chert down your way? I have just been working with TV screens and whiskey glass so far. Ive got lots of flint on my land but not sure about the glasses. If I ever get back into it, I will go straight obsidian. But like you mentioned, it eats your hand up. It is truly an art. The most frustrating part of it all was getting it to nap even and balanced. I could get a decent looking point, but had grief getting it to spin right. I guess that is why they are so expensive to buy. By the way, I will be P.M.ing you some pictures of the few hackberry staves that survived the ant attack. Which every you like Ill send your way. I might just have to trade you for a fast flight string.:biggrin: |
No problem. Like I said, no big hurry on the hackberry.
I have 3 garages. One for my hog and also where I do most tillering and such. The other I double for two cars and a boat plus have my bandsaw, planer, sander, and tablesaw. Figured glass flying near tires could be bad. I need a separate shop like yours. |
I hunt naked.
