I have several friends that knapp material and are very good at what they do..........I even have some of James Bowden's material in my collection.....(Professional knapper)...
Here are a few of James pieces,that I own now (3) One was made for me,from some Ohio Flint Ridge I sent him(#3)...The others,in the frame,were made by friends of mine.....I have another friend,doing some knapping for my collection too,can't wait to see his work....
I will be teaching myself how to knapp this coming summer too...

Hi All
Very nice. I am in the middle of planing a trip to Nethers farm this spring if they are still open. From what I am understanding at this time it should be.

Hi all
Thanks for the link. My study has show that thy are still open in 2016 also there is another property down the road that is now open to rock collectors. There are a lot of vids of Nethers farm on utube.
This is hot research for me because I can drive there and My older sis the masters degree in geoligy dont even know that it is in her back yard :glasses9:

I just scored a box of Ohio Flint from the "Nether's" farm... Nice material for sure... Going to have fun with it...
-
Some of the material,I slabbed...

Hi there
Looks like some of the material that I have from there that I put up for trade.

I still have about 60 lbs of rough to cut. I should have another 100 - 150 lbs of rough before winter hits. In my eyes this some killer stuff. If I make the effort I can get more if it has value. I know it does but does it pay for me to get it.
If you are willing to send me a slab I will trade so we can compaire materials.
Bless

I am curious if you think baskenite can be cabbed since it is a form of jasper. Here is an example of the slab.

And some cabs made from the material.

I think just stabilize it with glue and try it...

I have cabbed it and it did not need to be stabilized to do that.
