Title: from the gratz pit
Post by: bowtarist on May 25, 2012, 01:34:40 am

Man you all are killin me w/ the great threads.  I can't keep up between dial-up and my wanna be oooga booga life.  here are a few from this week.  all spalled from bigger pieces.  L to R 135g obs from sparrow; my first real flute, 100g from a flake I drove off the same big pc. of glass bute. # 3 235g indiana hornstone I spalled off in a creek w/ Tracy.  pix show all the flaws, I'm learning a lot in the pit these days thanks to my classic infuluences. Thanks!! I hope to hunt w/ the 135g this fall.  dpg

They look good to me.  Hope you get to stain at least 1 of them red. :)
