Hey Tell,

Did Emory say what his friend used to carve that Fire Obsidian?

Thanks Parnell.

Keith,

He said he used diamond tipped carving tools on a dremel.

Just got back...
great photos everyone, and nice to meet y'all in person. here are some of my photos.
By the way, the photo labeled "Blond Bear" in an earlier post is actulally "goody" Jones- both goody and blond bear run the "Echoes in time" workshops in the willamette valley along with leland gilson...
first photo is emory working a small biface from some really sugary black and red obsidian in the blowing snow storm
second, jake about to take the first flute on a clovis of the same black and red "mick whack"- needless to say- we ran into some huge chunks of this stuff
third, a carved wood skull by terry kramer
fourth, a replica ishi point which killed a deer made by a guy who wouldn't want his name here
and last some dang slim nocks by paul who is better known as a champion slalom skateboarder

N2 and Aaron, Sorry we didn't get out there in time to meet up with you guys. Dave and I got out there Saturday afternoon.had hoped to get there sooner but made a stop at the dacite pit and I couldn't get Dave to give up on a 3 foot long cylindrical rock that we never got. He did get some good boulders for some nice blades but we had to leave the premium one and concede to ground that was holding it.
  We spent the afternoon with Emory teaching us the finner arts of dissecting the boulders and I videoed him working a very ugly chunk into a nice respectable 14" blade.  When I get some more time I'll post some of the pics I took as well

     Keenan, how about putting the video on here? 8)  Wish I could've been there, but maybe next year.  How is the back?
Have you talked to a Chiropractor about the DRX9000 ?  It is fantastic.  It sure helped me.  I have the 4th and 5th disc almost non existant.  It is great for that and especially for bulging discs.

 Wayne, how ya doing.  I told Emory that he made your trip out west a highlight.  I have another MRI with contrast tomarrow and see the surgeon on Friday. Not going to have another surgery,,,,,,,,,at least not till after the Classic.  On the last visit he said to much damage for disk replacement but that I'm a prime target for a new development that will be out in about fifteen years ::)

I'm trying to learn how to post videos. ::) ;D ::)
