I have a new respect for ABO knappers! Ive been beatin rocks for around 11 months now and just tried an antler at Paynes Praire 2 weeks ago! WOW its a tough style. I like my copper!

Woody Blackwell told me after I asked about fluting...."People start thinking of FLUTING, when its nothing more than just a thinning flake!" Make sure you build some convexity on the point and it will run down the ridge. and yep ya gonna break em and buy into BAND-AID if your scared of blood, cause it is a BLOOD SPORT!

Who did I see lived in Georgia?? Have you tried the Georgia Jasper...Colorful and nice! I want some if anyone knows what Im talkin about.

Great show! I like production!

I`ve played with a little Ga. Jasper. It is nice stuff, but it is easier to find gold than jasper. I have a little point I made out of some around here somewhere. I`ll try to find it and post a pic.

 

[bam_bam]

where do you find ga jasper? is it up north ga. i am shure it is hard to find. i got some bloodstone jasper but it is that sawed stuff and i dont know how to go about working it and i dont want to mess it up its some nice looking stuff. i would like to get some mookite it purdy to me.

 

[BOHUNTER]

Yeah the Jasper I seen was an Isolated loggin road find ...Guy hada 5 gallon bucket full of rock...ROCK! THATS SWEET STUFF!!!

His had tons of Canary Yellow, colorful as all get out! Nice stuff. Small pieces 3" max...But nice and thats enuff to make anything.

That image is Oblique flaking, good grinding, convexity and even flaking makes it! Killer ANYWAY you look at it!

This is My one Year Knapper Month!!! Weeeee Yahooooo

Nick and I are best of friends Woody, I have an original Clovis, so he gave it to me to mount with mine.
