Puget Sound Knappers

PSK Point Collection and Display

We've started an ambitious project to create a single display case with a point from every member of the PSK. The display will be brought to every knap-in and major PSK attended event possible and showcase the knapping art of the PSK. This will be an ongoing process and as I receive points I will photograph each one and post in on this page as time permits.

Submitted points should, if possible, be signed by the knapper. They should also be accompanied with a minimum description of the point and the type of rock.
