latern knappin
« on: March 21, 2010, 11:13:12 pm »
 By the light of it I mean. ;D

Got a big ole heavy snow last night and I guess the wires couldn't hold it so we lost power this morning. I waited till this afternoon ,still no power, couldn't take it no longer so I got out the lantern and started whacking!

Thinking maybe I should do this more often?

The first point is from a piece that Sawfiler sent me of a piece he busted in the presence of Greg B. Had a terrible inclusion that gave me all kinds of trouble,but turned out with quite a surprise.

The second one is a piece of Keokuk that I just got out of the cooker. Turned out well and I am pleased with it. 5" Dalton.

Lastly, I got this piece of Georgetown down at ojam in a trade. The first whack and my hands got wet. Puzzled me until I turned it over. Never seen a quartz pocket full of water. I clean up that side and tried my best to work everything around it. I got this side perty well but the other is not so clean. Glad I could save the pocket. It's tough trying to work just one side of the rock.

Cool "character" points.  I especially like the first one with the hole in it.  Really nice work.

Nice points, that water pocket is really cool. Makes you wonder how long that water was in there.
