Well done Bub! I knew you could do it! You can definatley get addicted to punch notching...  ::) just look at me. I can hardly make anything without contemplating deep basal notches :) I think tougher flint like Texas stuff is better for it though... I have blown way more apart on heat treated stuff than on raw material. I bet with obsidian it's even tougher. Anyway, congrats!

I guess that makes sense bub. I've always heard that a self bow at full draw in 9/10 broken. So i guess a deep notch with a crack in it is the way to go ::) ;D. Good luck with that tx stuff. If it ain't tough enough for deep notching then i don't know what is...
