Knife River is around here a lot, and we've corresponded back and forth before, but somehow I never got around to going on to his website until yesterday. Man, was I missing out!
If you want to see some of the most beautiful rock ever knapped you have got to check this out.

Make sure you look under the Other Sculpture heading too! (Hope you don't mind Woody!)
-
Yeah!... I find myself going to his site every once in awhile just to look at his work.

You should see them in person. Woody is a super guy and his work is flawless. Never much cared about owning stone heads until I saw his works of art.
-
Man,whyd you have to post those heads?Something more for me to "need".
-
Woody does some great work.
-
Woody definately has a rare gift from God...not only an unbelievably talented artist but as fine a camp mate as anyone could ask for. Proud to call him friend and look forward to more hunts with him soon.
-
Holy smacker, it never ceases to make me wonder what trained human hands can accomplish, beautiful.

-
Most awesome artwork!!
There is much talent, skill, and a tremendous eye for form and function displayed on those pages. Thank you Mr. Blackwell!
And thanks to Whip for for bringing it to our attention.

That's some serious JAW DROPPING Talent that that GENTEL MAN possesses.
I spend quite a bit of time there in AWE.
-
I'm going to be kicking dirt clods and saying "Aw shucks" for a couple weeks now. ggg Many thanks, all, for your very generous words.
-
I need help! When I click on the site to view the points I only get to see a few and then the boxes are empty with a red box with a cross in it at the top left. I click on the x and nothing happens? Please what am I doing wrong I would really like to see the rest of these beautiful points.
-
All I can say is WOW!

Woody, Hope you don't mind, I resized a few for dialup viewers

I'm here to tell you that I could never say enough about Woody, his skill, his generousity, and finally about what a pleasure he is to shoot with and chew the fat with. One of the most unpretentious and modest men I've ever met, especially to have so much know-how and talent.
Absolute best part (IMO) - he also has a good sense of humor.
-
I don't think the phrase 'Stunning Simplicity' has ever been better used. To think that folks've been doing this since...well....there've been folks, is truly astonishing. It's probably the only time, in any of our lives that we'll get to see a technological advancement such as this, brought to the pinnacle of it's form & possibilities. I'd have to say that these are examples of perfection in a particular medium.
-
Absolutely beautiful! What else can you say? I had never heard of him before, but he must be as good as you can be!

Those are simply amazing!

It makes the ancestors proud. Woody, you have been blessed with a wonderful gift. I have found arrowheads all over the world. It has always amazed me how primitive peoples could make such useful works of art. And now you have brought the talent to new heights.
"A-ha lani-cha" Knife River.
