Anybody got nodules, raw materials?

[Sticks n' Stones]

Trying my hand at flint napping arrowheads, knives, scrapers etc. Problem is I live up on a limestone mountain, so there's no chance in finding any flint, obsidian, chert, etc. Any nodule palm size or greater is what I'm looking for. I'll take broken toilets as well since the porcelain works well. Price if everything of course. Just getting ideas, so no deals for sometime. Just putting the word out.

 

Also looking for raw materials, bones, dried leg tendons, average quality skins, antlers, teeth, claws, etc.

are you interested in fur?

Possibly, depends on what it is.

The bases of thick beer and wine bottles work nice for knapping.

 

Site to purchase supplies...http://kentuckyflintworks.com/

 

If your interested I may have a couple hunting/presentation grade heads I would sell.

Thanks for the site, I'll be sure to buy some spalls off of there soon. I've tried bottles before with little success, The bottoms make nice quickie Ulu's though. What kind of heads are we talking about? I'm not keen on destroying some nice mounts.

fox, coyote, coon, muskrats, mink, possum, skunk, beaver, otter...

Ron Saunders knapped a bunch for me years ago, actually we worked out a trade.  I have a few I never used and I don't bow hunt any longer.  I would have to dig them out but they are beautiful heads.  Hunting size and quality, but also presentation grade.  I have a couple arrows I made for display with the heads.

 

Here is a link to info on Ron...http://www.idahopress.com/members/nampa-man-is-talented-flint-knapper/article_e04232dc-4f3a-11e3-9126-0019bb2963f4.html

Kype= Sounds good with the species, If the Otter or Beavers are large enough, I'd reckon they'd make nice quivers for rainy days. Thinking bout using a skin I took off of a Possum off the side of the road few days ago as a primitive fire pouch. Big one as well, reckon near 3 ft., don't even get me started on the handfuls of fat I pulled out of her. Skin smells like... possum, not Chanel no. 5 unfortunately, maybe a little 8 hr. road kill meat scent in it as well. Managed to flesh most of it with a old hatchet. Guess it was worth chasing off a vulture for it.   

 

Button Buck= Looked up on Ron, seems like a nice guy. I'll put some thought on the arrowheads. Know anything about regulations, legality, etc. with stone points in NJ for hunting besides size of course?
