Chelsea Knap-in 2015, a Michigan Flintknapper's Gathering


This year's Chelsea Knap-in was May 2-3. A large group of knappers showed up, as Chelsea is usually THE knap-in in Michigan to attend. I had a great time chipping with my friends.

The display Bob Love, the president of the Michigan Flintknappers. It includes not only point but knives, adzes, woodworking tools, atlatls, and other Stone Age technology.
