Title: Sparrow's Obs
Post by: bowtarist on May 31, 2012, 12:11:37 pm

I got a nice big chunck on Glass Butes obs from Sparrow awhile back and was too scared to bust into it until about a month ago or so, but these all came from one rock and I still have several really nice spalls and a big piece left to spall.  I've posted some of these before, but all being out of the same rock, I wanted to post them as a group.  Again, not the best points, but a few of these are going on my fall deer hunting arrows.  Thanks for looking. dpgratz

Sweet points!  It wouldn't do any good to follow you around hoping for spawls. You are way to efficient with your material! ;)  ;D.  Josh

Didn't mean to raise your hackles Josh.  Bet we could find others that would agree though.  ;)

Thanks Jamie.
