Tx rootbeer point.
« on: May 17, 2012, 03:50:50 pm »
I've been working a lot of raw local rock lately. I've found some pretty good stuff. Most of it has been that bluish grey . Gooood stuff! This point is made from some rootbeer I found. My notches stalled so I couldn't go any deeper w/them. 2 3/8 long & 1 5/8 wide. Tower

Wow.....that is great.  When I get better and actually have some idea of what I am doing I need to find some of that rock.  Right now I think I should stick with rootbeer bottles >:D

Super point! But I always seem to focus on your boots?!?  :-\

Try to let the camera focus on your hand then move it to center the shot on the point. Some cameras will let you hold the button for the focus then let go for the shutter to "close." As beautiful as your stuff is it's a shame not to let people see them better.
