Welcome to Lithics Rock!  Lithic technology is truly an amazing field which I enjoy thouroughly.  I have been flintknapping since the early 90's and have had the distinct pleasure of learning from such great knappers as Dr. Bruce Bradley and Greg Nunn.  My greatest inspiration comes from the people who originated this technology for their absolute livelihood. 

Every stone piece has a story, each flake representing the blood, sweat, and tears of the true masters.  I am but a student of their pure dedication to the stone, a lover of an ancient and magnificant craft.  It's not the point...it's the journey.
