WHAT IS HIGH GRADE STONE?
Anything you can run a 1/2" or more flake with a pressure flaker.
HEAT TREATING:
Heat treat a few FLAKES of everything you got except HIGH GRADE Raw Stone, Obsidian, Dacite, Basalt, Hornstone, Sonora, Fort Payne, or Rhyolite. Start with flakes and spalls less than 1" thick for 200°F for 24 hours to dry it out. Then raise the temp to 275°F and hold for 4 hours. Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back I at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 4 hours.
Let cool down for 12 hours. Chip and compare. If no difference, put back in at 200°F for 1/2 hour, then raise to 275 for 1/2 hour, then raise to 325 for 1/2 hour, the raise to 375 for 4 hours.
Repeat with temp going up 50°F until you reach 600°F or nice chippable stone. Whichever comes first. If no good result, or things blow up, let us know.

You should start labeling these "More Knapp'n, No Yapp'n"

Patrick are you gonna start updating the allergic hobbit?

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Yes. I was going to do it last year but I was distracted by my plans to move to New Hampshire or Vermont.

I know what you do for a living but what are your hobbies?

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

They are the same thing nowadays

What a tease! Using a big yellow spall to clean off cortex. Gotta love this.

I love seeing more of those “E” notches! Such a nice detail. How much do you anticipate one of those points will bring on your auction? Thanks

[@KnapperJackCrafty]

Points like these usually sell for around $35 (with free shipping) but you never know. If I've got a lot of similar points in the auction, it can be as low as $25. On the other hand, if a collector considers the piece to be perfect for his collection, it can go as high as $55 or more.
