soapstone bird
« on: October 20, 2018, 11:23:20 am »
Not sure if this one goes here. Had a pc of soapstone that I used for bearing block on bowdrill that drilled thru fairly quick, today decided to do something with stone with a hole in it. I saw a bird trapped in there so I freed him, Way easier than flintknapping, roughed it out then sanded a gave a coat or two of boiled linseed oil and a little hand rub. this is my first attempt at using soapstone , I need to get some more.

A bird in the hand!  Not sure about the bush!  Nice job, art for art's sake!  Now for a pipe!  Although that will require drilling!

Nice job reusing the soapstone bearing Outback. Might have to start calling you Ravine Bob if you start wearing it for knapper bling.

Holy flipping wow!  Really speaks to my inner cave man, brother!

Can I order a raptor's head from you?  Please?
