The knapping elves were good to me today!
« on: July 25, 2011, 03:02:07 am »
I've been throwing a small fan of under cooked coral out of the way for months now. I knew it had some nice color but wasn't sure there was even enough rock there to mess with. I loaded up my turkey roaster last week and threw it in with some other under heated coral and some Pedernales I got from Cowboy.
 Cooking was successfull and really made cleaning up that coral a lot easier. This coral head was only about an inch thick and the size of my palm with a thick chalky cortex all over. I was an hour skinning it but what was hiding under there was worth it.
 Last picture is it with two other coral Daltons...all headed back to Florida this week.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.
