Recent chippings

[Majuba Tom]

Here is a few photos of the recent stuff I have been doing. The knife I made for my cousin. I used the antler for the handle from the buck he shot last year. He was real surprised when I gave it to him. He had no idea i had made him one. 

Enjoy,
Tom

Awesome job there. Beautiful knife. What material is the five arrowheads you have posted made from.

Flungonin the 2 black ones are Obsidian the other 3 are what I would call Agates. Here is a close up pic if anyone wants to hazard a guess at what type of Agates they are or if they have a better idea what the stone types should be called.

That obsidian is treating you nice:D

Someone was telling me that, the material (agate) you sent me is a type of jasper. But who knows!

Makes a dam nice point!

You got some skill dude

Looks somewhat like alibates. Pretty rock!

The more I read about the geology of the area that I am collecting from. The closer the material seems to resemble alibates. Here is a link to the geology of alibates http://www.nps.gov/alfl/naturescience/index.htm. So if I call it agatized dolomite I am probably close but it is easier just to call it agate untill I know for sure.

With all that said I am just real lucky to have an area close by on open BLM land that I can collect this type of stone.

Thank you for the kind words.
