Modern Flintknapping |
|
Bill is 77 years old and although he started beating on slate found in the woods near his home at 10 years of age, he considers his years of flintknapping at 56. He lives in NC.
He has underwent several surgeries on his hands and has lost most of the feeling in his hands.
He is best known for his thin pressure flaked pieces and edge to edge pressure flaking using a very large Ishi stick
He does percussion as well, using both moose and copper billets interchangeably depending on the platform that presents itself, averaging copper use at 75% of the time.
Bill has developed a pressure flaking jig which produces large wide flakes that have the appearance of percussion flakes. It will be stated in the description of any piece made using this technique.
We accept paypal, checks, and money orders.
