Woody, those are simply gorgeous.  I will be looking forward to watching you make something like that next week.  Hopefully some of it will rub off on me.....lol.  I know I will be able to turn white rock into "RED" probably very very easy.....lol

Woody,
I'm taking my "Knife River Hand Held Impliment of Destruction" with me and hope to break it in right!! Those heads are awsome!! Hope we can do them justice. You know, it would be MUCH better if you were bringing them in person! We'll miss you, bro.

Hormoan, thanks for the generous words about those points, but they are working pieces -- sharp, sturdy, and functional.  The ones in this photo are art -- beautiful little gems made by different knappers around the country.  Most are as fragile as potato chips (they'd be heck on your digestive tract, though).  GGG

Words escape me, but something like incredible and envy come to mind. beautiful work Woody.

Just picked up a fist sized chunk of Flint River Flint from another amatuer knapper today. Gonna make rock dust out of it I suppose. I asked this feller about where to start and he replied (like most of us bow builders talk about bow wood)..."Just whack it, it's only rock" LOL

I think Woody could knap a head out of a bowl of oatmeal. Sure wish he hadn't been kicked out of Virginia.  "[dntthnk]"

Woody,  
Those points are so awesome...But I agree with you.  Doing the job they were made for is a Bigger Compliment than just looking at them.  Not that my knives even belong on the same page, but I'd rather have my knives beat up workin' than just collecting dust.  I hope my aim is half as good as your points  :thumbsup:  Thanks again...Doc

Ray, I thought that piece of wood might catch your eye.  GGG  It keeps whispering, "I wanna be a riser..."       ;)    Might look nice with an ebony swoosh running through it, eh?    :eek:

Tippit, my points don't have ANYTHING on your great knives.  I'm tickled they'll be in the same hunting camp next week.    :thumbsup:

I don't know how I let this slip by me. You fellas are in for a high time. Killin bears with stone and glass, and cleanin em up with purty steel. Sounds like more fun than should be allowed. Can't wait to see pics and hear stories comin out of this one.

Heya

Just a small note, I live in Quebec and AFAIK stone points are totally Illegal to hunt with here.

Beside the fact that they are pretty as all get out you can't use em here. Steel only I am afraid.

Sometimes it really does suck to live in Canada but not most of the time.
