Kalamazoo Traditional Bowers Expo 2016

 Despite being a Ball State University in Indiana, I was still able to make most of the Kalamazoo Traditional Bower's Expo at the end of January. I had a great time knapping and being with my friends and mentors.
One of my cases, from above.

My display, I forgot to bring a blanket the first day.

Dan's keeper case.

This case and the one below are Don's work.

Here is a large, Keokuk Hopewell-Snyders that I made the first day.

Here is a MacCorkle I made during the show. It is from striped hornstone that I picked up last spring.

The following pictures are all Don Gilson's work, that his friend Perry owns and brought for Don to sign. I took the opportunity to snap some pictures.




Overall, the event was I blast and I can't wait to get back into the knap-in season!
