Woody Blackwell's Flintknapping - the Art of the Ancients- This instructional DVD would make a great addition to anyone's library of knapping aids.

Understading Flintknapping Fundamentals by Mark Bracken For years I have told my students no two people knap the same way. We take a little from this person and that person and experiment until we find what we are comfortable with. Mark's style of knapping is quite different from mine. His points speak for themselves that his style works. Watching this DVD may make a connection with you and how you can become more comfortable in your own style of knapping. *NEW* Want to just order just this DVD? Are you ordering it using Paypal?
