Obsidian salmon
« on: April 16, 2013, 11:48:55 am »
It's about 8 inches long. I rough these out with precussion (antler), then do the "notches" with pressure or a copper punch. Halfway through this one, I developed some stacks on one side and turned to cheating. I ground them off with an angle grinder fitted with a diamond abrasive wheel. The thing is about 36 grit and just chews through stone.

Cool fish fetish!  I'll have to give that a try sometime.  May the salmon run be good to you this year! Nice work, dpg
