Title: Turkeytail Tupelo and other things
Post by: cowboy on May 31, 2009, 04:57:09 pm

Had to try a Tupelo of course. Had a darn good big ole thin blade going till I started fighting with an ornery step. Kinda like my teenage daughter - wouldn't listen to anything I said. So it didn't come out as nice as the Fulton. But heck, guess I'll take it. And some other things I made to kinda practice up for the bigger rock. Old man that owns this ranch requested a couple of necklace type points for his grandkids I assume, made a couple of em yesterday - broken ears and all ;D.

That's allright Dana - seems like I got initiated on rocks that nobody else wanted to try ::). So I guess I payed my dues before stumbling into this honey hole - it's been charachter builder all the way. Soon's Jamie sends me that box of stuff from up there in PA, I think I'm going to start all over again ::). Thanks fer the compliment :).
