A rocky thank you

[357maximum]

Awhile back I mentioned that I was in need of Knappable stones for my budding flintknapping adventure/kill a deer with a homemade stone broadhead quest. The outpouring of offers from the fine members of Castboolits from all around the country that live in more chert/flint/obsidian rich areas has been remarkable.:bigsmyl2::drinks:

I would like to say a great big ol :bigsmyl2:THANK YOU :bigsmyl2: to the generous and kind members here that went out of their way to locate/pick up/ box up and send rocks to me. You all really hooked me up with knappable lithics and it is ever so greatly appreciated. Ye'alls a wonderful lot.

The members here never fail to amaze me with their generosity and support of their fellow man, even the ones merely on a "quest" .

I wish the rest of the world was like you all.

THANKS AGAIN,
Michael

I agree-
Wonderful group here.

Please report on your "lith-bullet" manufacturing and application adventures!

Of course, with this group, you'll have to come up with some cutesy baby-talk word for your kind of arrowheads as opposed to commercially-made arrowheads.

Sorry Dean could not help it. :lol:

I want to see pictures of the progress, too!
I'm somewhat disappointed to see you aren't making your own sinew bowstrings too. They can be frustrating, you think you have a good one, and it breaks immediately, or you have one that looks like ****, that lasts forever with care. Only thing guaranteed with them, is sore fingers from twisting them together!

I actually have the sinew (and other materials) being collected by the deer killers around me this year, just have not got to that point yet........guess you will have to be dissapointed a bit longer.:wink: I have been reading the ol mans bowyers bibles and there is alot of things I want to do...........eventually. The dentist has me all doped up this week so it will not be a real productive week.

I will give you a clue, that the leg tendons make a better bowstring, than the long loin strips. The shorter pieces make a better bond.
