Ron, you should put the list in order from favorite to least favorite lithic to knap.😁

[Ron Kelley]

Hey Chad, That's a good idea. I think I will do that. Hey Chad I added some things to the last thread of stone you sent.

[Hoss]

That is quite a list I love my Agate point .

[Ron Kelley]

Hey Matt, I have knapped a few different types of agate and that one knapped the best of the agate types.

[skrewkase]

I think at this point your list should be a wish list Ron.
What lithics do you still want to knapp.

[Ron Kelley]

Anything that I haven't knapped Bruce. I'm always looking for new ones.

[skrewkase]

Told you Ron that would be a long read.thanks for doing this.maybe some day I will go one by one down your list also.Ron's mystic list of lithics.

[Ron Kelley]

Hey Keith, That was a good idea. Now I can easily add to the list as I find new stone to work.

[Scorpion68]

That's quite a list Ron. I'm stunned by all the different lithics that are around. I don't even know all the ones around my area. ...Chuck

Would be really cool is if you remembered how hard each lithic was to knapp by a 1 through 10 scale.1 being hardest 10 being easyest.then you could do how hard each rocks is density wise.then you could find out what density is best to knapp lol.

Hey Josh, That's a good list. This is a lith poor area (Mich U.P.) I have bought some 700 pounds of rocks in addition to what people have gifted me. I would love to pick my own lithic material from a natural site.

[skrewkase]
