About Me
 
Aug. 9th 2006

 


I'm 19 yrs-old. I was born and raised here in NW Louisiana.

 

I grew up with everyone finding arrowheads all over the place and when I found my first one it got me to wondering how they were made.So about when I was 16 started searching around on the web and found a few pages about flintknapping. So I went and got me a piece of antler and small piece of glass and began making smaller pieces of glass and bleeding at the same time. After a while I kinda figured it out a little bit and turned out a few crude points.

 

Then I found someone who had some obsidian and I bought a couple slabs, and I found a video called "Lap Knapping" by Craig Ratzat of neolithics.com . I learned a little more from that and through time I learned a little more here and there and eventually came up with my own little method that I use in all my pieces today. 

 

 

 

Some of my other interests are playing my acoustic guitar, and my banjo, fishing , hunting arrowheads ,working ...... ! ?? (whatever.that just don't fit in with everything else)
