Title: The Cobden Dove Tail
Post by: leapingbare on April 13, 2011, 12:14:31 pm: Well guys I'm proud of this one. I spent $30 on this piece of rock and i was so scared of messing it up that i meticulously planned every flake. I have close to 5 hours in this one dove tail. I would have liked to have notched it a little deeper but one stalled out. it was 9 inch rock when i started and the finished Dove Tail is 8 3/4 inches. This was a sweet piece of rock worth every dolor.

Post by: leapingbare on April 13, 2011, 12:47:47 pm: Oh yea. I have made about 5 or 6 danish daggers and a few square section axes. The Axes are 100% punch work and the dagger handles are all punch work.
