Title: Weekend change
Post by: Bone pile on December 07, 2008, 07:14:36 pm

After beating on coral most of the year(I'n not complaining) I recived a couple different kinds of material .I tried a couple different styles.The first are synders Hopewell out of some flint ridge.

The next are my attempts at Pedernales from some Texas Rock(http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk33/Bonepile/DSCN0061.jpg)
This is what happens when it's to windy to fish

I really like the profile on your dove tells, very symmetrical.

Don't think I've ever made a pedernales ganna have to do one..  Are those close to the size of an original?
