Title: 'Man Rock' for Eddie Parker
Post by: n2everythg on June 08, 2010, 06:37:49 pm

It would take a pretty poor injun to strap this one on then end of a stick and go hunt mammoths with.

But this one has your name all over it Eddie.

Told you I would poke one out of man rock for ya. And you sure do seem to be a poor injun.
Its humped, stacked and weighs about a ton but it is fluted on both sides......

Made it out of some concrete that we dragged 700 miles back from TX when I wasnt smart enough to know good rock from gas mileage.
 
I wanna see it on a dart with mammoth blood on it.

PM me with your address so I can send it off in the mail. This one is too ugly to be hanging round here. :)

Later.

Well if I didnt read the post I would say it looked like the Onondaga that is north west from where I live.

 Ha, Ha, Ha. That's funny, Wade. I'd be happy to put that thing in my case and tell everybody Wade made it for me. ;D And to let you know, I beat out a coral point this afternoon. ;)

That's funny - like them flutes too. Bet that stuff would cook up into some nice working rock..

Paul,
Funny thing is that rock is cooked. Last time I cooked it I took it to 550 for 12 hrs and it got crumbly. This time I took it to 450 for 24 hrs and it knapps a bit better than raw. better in the dark places than in the light. And it is full of inclusions and grainy.

It is a bunch of that rock we picked up down by temple TX up by the lake when david and I were out there huntin. It is rough stuff but it chips.

I got some of that rock and some of it worked as good as anything...and some didn't.
