Great Trails was a fun-filled festival in which we got to see several old friends and meet quite a few new ones. I spent the entire weekend demonstrating how to chip flint to make a knife or arrowhead just like the indians would have done. Mike Miller, Don Kahl and Jerry (I don't know his last name) from Parkersburg stopped by on their way home from the Flint Ridge Knap In to do a little bit of chipping. Thanks guys! Our familiar Woodland Originals set-up. If you see this set up, hang around and I'll show you the 1-2-3's of flint knapping. If you're interested in trying it, I have avery good step-by-step instructional book, all the tools you need and some flint to practice on. Everything you need to get started will cost you about $95.00. (click image to see large photo) As usual, Sharon has the marquee set up and beautifully arranged, ready to greet visitors.
