You are something else with your knowledge of flint knapping

Appreciate it Thomas. Been doing different things for a long time.

23 minutes and 23 seconds of pure joy. Thanks for the effort in making & posting this video. Regarding the flake damage you note around 21:50, I've noticed similar patterns occurring on the distal end of flakes right after the flake was removed; I've attributed what I see to the flake, once detached, being pushed into the core, causing what looks like retouch. I notice this with decent consistency.

That’s something to look for I haven’t noticed. Thans Nels

Always good to see blade core technology. Once you get them small like this they make good paper weights.

I’ve basically done the same with obsidian you can get flakes to stay intact is just difficult

Nice work maestro

Thanks Tommy

Beautiful material--looks very similar to "Perkinsville Jasper" from the Martin Formation in Arizona--is the source Devonian?? May be the same layer??

[@Flintknappingtips]

This is Wyoming hartville, so unlikely but not sure.

So many tools in one small stone! Thanks for the lesson.

Where is that material from?

[@simonlabozetta5063]

It's impressive how, you basically turned it into an acorn.

There’s some micro cores that are way smaller than a thimble in Asia. Pretty neat

Do you ever come to any Missouri Rendezvous or knap ins?

[@Flintknappingtips]

Sometimes I go to fairview heights knapnin in illinois and water creek in arkansas but I won’t be this year.
