Bone,
You can always tell when someone has really done it. That sentence right there spells out the whole experience for me. That and blood dripping from all the little nicks and cuts.

Caution: Do not flintknapp anywhere near the trail that leads to your mailbox (that you just might be walking barefoot down some morning on your way to get the paper and then wonder why you're leaving bloody footprints on the carpet later)

Thats good advice too.  I did it in front of my garage and ran out there barefoot.  I shoved one of those slivers deep into the heel of my foot and then it broke off.  I dug and dug to get it out as everytime I'd step it hurt.  Of course this was RIGHT before hunting season.  I felt everystep.

Ray,

Here are some pics of the obsidian I was telling you about. That is a softball for perspective. The smaller pieces are black with some creamy white stripes. The bigger pieces are black swirled with mahagony. Let me know how much you want.
