gettin rusty
« on: August 30, 2011, 04:08:35 pm »
been too busy building stone walls and patios. finally had a break so i knocked this one out. the stone is israeli chert. a buddy of mine went to vist his family there and brought me back a few chunks. should of waited to use it till i was back in the groove though. this stuff is a cross between knife river and dacite. excellent material

Looks like a groovy point to me! Sweet rock. That's kinda neat. Knapping a stone from the promise land.

When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.

 You must be hitting that rust with some Naval Jelly every now and then. ::)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That's a beauty. Just think, that's the type of rock that David could have flung..
