After meeting and gettin to know Hank at the classic, he sent me this little dandy. Finally gathered enough confidence to bust it up and make something with it. Still have a chunk left, not sure what to make of the last piece. Perty rock for shore!

Man! that is some cool rock. And you did it justice, Scott.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Scott, excellent looking point and blade, I really like how your bladefits your spall, looks like you had hardly any waste in reduction.   I need to work up the courage to try my pc of Rainy Buttes. Bob

I didn't notice that until after I started taking pictures. Kind of a neat shot the way the grain lines up. Let's see you break your piece open now!  ;D   Come on, don't be intimidated. It's just a rock!! >:D

Beautiful work. What type of rock and where does it come from?

You did that rock justice with those 2pieces. Awesome work. Did you heat or just use it as is

That is cool the way the swirls line up! Those are some beauties there Scott! Guess I may have to drive all over ND now, ha.

Dang!  That is some inspiring work right there!
