Title: Flint Knapping in Louisiana???
Post by: BossDog on March 31, 2008, 02:29:00 PM

Just got back from Ojam and can't tell you how much fun my buddy Joe and I had while there.  We got to meet and visit with so many folks who frequent this board as well as others.  Learned so much my head is hurting.  

We were fortunate to be able to watch some fine flint knappers do their thing, and it renewed my interest in knapping.  I understand there is going to be a knappers get together near Lake Charles soon.  Maybe this coming weekend???  We'd sure like to attend this, and we need to get out "stuff" together.  Does anyone have any definitive information on when and where it is?  Or where I could find this information??

Sure would appreciate any help.

I'd be interested also if there is a get together.

There is usually a group of Knappers that get together at the Sterling Harrell Memorial Shoot that is held the last weekend in April at the Boy Scout Ranch just outside of Ville Platte.

Here is a link to the Shoot information:
