Just want to welcome you guys to the group. Have any of you been knapping lately?
I haven't knapped this week but did scrounge around the farm yesterday and found some flint pieces...no full points though.

Spring is here but the weather isn't cooperating too well here in Kentucky...been snowing and 30 degrees. I'm ready for the weather to warm up for knapping events to kick into full swing and get some knapping going.

It seems like cuts are something us knappers have in common...all too common. :)

Jason, That was last night. I will have to start taking some pics because I usually don't. All I got last night was a cut from a flake on the ring finger of my left hand but no stitches necessary.

Headed to the knapping pit tonight for some work on the piece shown below. The stone is hornstone and will most likely end up being an Adena point.

I like both of those stones; good color and texture. They make nice points. I have hornstone and a little sonora I'm currently working...the sonora is a nice dark, smooth black.

Daniel posted a discussionCasual Belts for Jeans?
Is there a rule to follow for wearing belts for jeans? I understand that casual belts can have bigger buckles and I am fond of a belt with a bigger buckle. Can anyone recommend any good belts for jeans? The belts I currently have are geared more for dress clothes. I was at TJ Maxx and saw some belts from LaCrosse and Ralph Polo for only $20. I was not sure if those belts were for dress pants specifically. See More
