Flint Knapping with Jason and Dave

We met Dave through many trips to the Pow-Wow, and Dave's Rock Shop both at the Auburndale Flea Market. Jason has been flint knapping for about 4-5 years now and is primarily self-taught, through trial and error (and YouTube).

This is truly Jason's favorite creative outlet... I'm constantly amazed at the idea of finding a rock, hitting it with an antler billet or another rock, and ending with a near perfect arrow or spear head. Jason seems to do this with the greatest of ease. Dave and I talked Old Florida, snakes and gators, and family, while Jason whips through a few slabs.
