Title: reworked preform
Post by: iowabow on October 12, 2011, 11:57:26 pm

I made this preform in TN this summer and waited till now to finish it.  It was a little thick and I was not sure at the time about hitting it but after Towers post and going to the knapin I built the confidence to really take a swing at it.   I thinned it and finished it up.

Here is a train shot of the preform.  Why you might ask with the train.  See the train is in the same shape as the preform just backwards.

I thought you were going to say that you finished that up while waiting on the train.
