No doubt about it, you whipped that rock and got the most out of it. I've never chipped any of that, but we have plenty tough stuff in Texas that I do chip.

Good sized blade! Tough rock is fun but I may be addicted to my obsidian.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short. Amen.

Hate to see what your tools look like after the beating they took.

Joel, I pretty much just use a 1" cap bopper for everything, knocked my cap loose and had to get a 1-1/2" solid copper out to tame all the sq edges and fractured layers, I can fix my tools but my elbow is hurting, I think arther is trying to move in :o :(  I have one more of these sq blocks, wonder what is hiding inside of it?
