Knapping in New York

[Boneyard Bowhunter]

I have tried and just don't get it. Is there a shoot in coming up in NY or Pa where someone will be doing some knapping and don't mind giving some lessons.

There is a knappers show in Letchworth state park sometime in August, go to that one if you want to learn from some of the best around.

I have been learning from a book, and asking questions on here. So far I only do preforms, Im looking to learn how to work spalls now. Letchworth is supposed to be really good. Havent been there myself...yet.

I Knap a bit, I'm not a teacher by any means. I went to the Linc school of knapping. I've turned out some nice pieces but I've also made a larger pile of blood laced rubble. I'd be willing to point you in the right direction. I live pretty close and I work in Vestal. Shoot me a PM!

If you're interested theres a 2 day knapping course being held in Owego in August, teacher is Craig Ratzat.I think I'm going to that myself.

The Stone tools show is August 21-24 At Letchworth park. If you need or want tools, materials and pointers don't miss that show.

Craig Ratzat's video's are very informative.Up close shots and Craig is a great teacher.

Letchworth is the place to go. I've only been there once but I learned a lot.

Lee, I bet my blood laced rubble is bigger than your blood laced rubble.    Is your knapping/bowyering workshop open or still in progress?

[LeeNY]

Linc, the shop is both open and still in progress!

Hummm, I think we better get together soon.
