ROY MILLER

FLINTKNAPPER If there is any one person who's name immediately conjures up colorful stone it's Roy Miller. That's because, as a flintknapping artist, his canvas is made of some of the most colorful stone in the world, Flint Ridge flint. Roy has an advantage over other knappers because, a few years ago, he bought several acres of the ancient Flint Ridge quarry in Licking County, Ohio. His land has produced some of the most colorful pieces of Flint Ridge flint that has ever been seen and he is putting it to good use.
