Marty,

I have your case all cut and punched out (15 oz. leather). I need you to get in touch with me so I can put some of your points on it (leather tooling) I also need your home address to mail it to you. It is going to be much nicer than mine.

@touchnova Hey, thanks for the tip on the tunmbnail . It's been a while since I've had to do this stuff!

cool vid and aloha knapper like it! you should try a hawaiian adze head! they are pretty tough cause materials suck here and also making square edges are tough also! the grinding is time consuming but the end products are very cool and valuable also! I have been trying for awhile and its tough! I cant get any local basalt due to the archeological sites being restricing to looking only but have seen lots of pre forms and go to the bishop museum to see the real deal! very cool stuff, aloha

@joneblaze82 I've been doing some square work lately. It's been fun. There's a copy of a maori adze that I've been wanting to duplicate for years but I'm not good enough at them yet. When I practice up more this winter I'll have to do one. Thanks

Stunning points Marty, your work is inspirational! Those duck river blades are fantastic. Is that the Volgu you made up in Oregon? I'm sure I'll be watching this again and again....jim

[Flintknappingtips]

@paleomanjim  Thanks Jim! That blade is another I made when I got home. I did some more work on the one you filmed and sold it at the class. I'm going to be putting more vids on my website, so if I get a thin hammerstone blade one on there I'll pm you.

[gotrocksinhead]

Those are absolutely beautiful!! You are very talented! thanks for sharing.

[Flintknappingtips]

@gotrocksinhead Thanks! I dug some dacite out right next to where you and the kids were digging last year and some of the blades in this vid were from that hole.

[gotrocksinhead]

@Flintknappingtips Thats cool. We're planning an making another trip over there sometime before the end of the year.

[StarrJaded]

Wow, absolutely beautiful pieces!

You're very talented =) My husband and father in law enjoy knapping, although I haven't seen them do it for some time now. They always talked about getting the shard to come off just right. Looks like you have perfected this art =)

3:33 Beautiful obsidian... It's such a pity, that we don't have any obsidian in Poland... And the nearest one is in Hungary :/ But flint is pretty common, so it's not that bad :) 5:09 is awesome too ;) best regards from Poland, Greg

[Flintknappingtips]

@gswiaczny Thanks Greg. Obsidean is nice, but if I had to pick between the two I'd pick nice banded polish flint over obsidean anytime. Let me know when you want to trade!
