Knapped Oregon Obsidian Eagle

**Bill Harsey** · 03-17-2009, 21:05

There is a father and son team over in Burns Oregon, Cecil and his son Emory Coons who do some serious obsidian knapping. Before they can knap it, they go out into the volcanic desert landscape and find it.
Emory started when he was 5 years old.
Here is one of Emory's rare pieces, an Eagle, hand knapped from Oregon obsidian. This piece is 9 inches long.
