In South Jawja they used sandm

Thanks for the info, I learned a lot.

Thanks man

Wonder if this would work for mookaite to make it easier to flake?

Awesome video! I knew I didn’t need to have expensive equipment to do this. Thanks for the information 😁

Nice work ! ! ! I went from knapping glass to some attempts with obsidian. Next is a rock from central Texas. Flint . It may need to be

Does heat treating help prvent step fractures or is that more a bad hit on stone

I worked in the Oaxaca Valley at the Monastery Cuilapan Laboratory and the Archaeologist said we find this Quartz but we can't find the source and I said that is because it has been heat treated and he said, They heat treated Quartz? and I said sure they heat treated Quartz. It is what we called cold cream jar Quartz which is what he had.

how are u?

Has anyone ever heat treat stone in a outside wood burner i would like to try

Most of that stuff was white or cream color and was razer sharp after you hit it.

I beat on that Arkansas stuff when I was a kid,didn't know squat about tools ,pleasure flakers and what not, or good from bad, I just pick up two rocks and went at it,I suspect the material around there would have benefited from heat treatment. I'm two hours from Flint ridge Ohio, I now make nice points out of anything good I can get my hands on

My uncle Leo Rooker had a big ranch on the Sharp Randolph County line,outside of Smithfield and Imbooden (Wellin Springs,that place was loaded with Flint, the road grader would bust it up and it would cut the snot out of your tires

I've seen lots of experienced knappers miss the fact that a square corner is nothing but another ridge. Saves a ton of zigzag work and gets edges setup faster when you can successfully nock those across like that. Well done.

Man you've been at it for 25 years or more since knapping that old TV glass back in the day. Nice video bro!

Great video

Just had a chance to watch your video. Well done!

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.

You have good radio voice! What you oughta do is set up the camera with a lap shot.

Awesome video man! May message ya online and see if you think this ole rock formations is a fire pit natives used to use. I find points close to it and it just seems odd rock formation for the area. I’ll message ya on Facebook! Keep up the vids man!

Hey seth can ya give someone some advice on river locations to find stones to heat treat
