finding some success
« on: April 15, 2012, 01:43:26 pm »
I've been working on some Texas rock (which works superbly!) And a little burlington. The TX rock came from Tower and Im amazed at how well it works very easy to thin and makes super sharp points. The dove tail  is a piece of slab flint that wasnt heated and it still worked well.

The last pic is a stemmed point that I blew an ear off and had to redirect. Has nice color and ended up fairly thin.
