Yeah, it's a tad late, but what can I say? I'm a little busy these days. First of all, I have really been enjoying this term.

Your edit made me smile, because I was going to tell you THIS! (you're going to love me, P.S.)

I have 5 BUCKETS of obsidian. For serious. Want a bucket? It's smaller pieces, but for learning it's great. I do some flintknapping too, I'm not great but... and go or the limestone hammerstone. They're really easy to use and don't put any internal fractures in the stone. I don't currently have any hammerstones though, so if you find a good source and can find an extra or two, I'd really appreciate it. :)

Also, glass buttes, OR. It's near Bend? That's where my obsidian is from. You can just go down there and fill a couple buckets. It's amazing. Only problem is you'd need a big truck. We tried taking a van and did a shit ton of damage to the undercarriage.

Let me know if you need anything else, and I'll see what I can do!
