« on: March 22, 2010, 12:14:32 am »
This is this bigest dove i'v made, its the bigest piece of flint ridge i'v ever had. This was a $30 rock a good buddy gave me. Im proud of this one.

Great work again Jesse! Hey, that dovey would go great in my collection ::). I'm really into figuring out those cumberlands at the moment though - that's another nice one!
