Title: I guess I'll take what I can get
Post by: GooseGossett on July 27, 2012, 11:22:27 pm

Had 3 different outcomes on 3 different rocks.  It was hot today and I think I might have lost 5lbs and it all dripped right into my sunglasses.

1st: I must have held my tongue right because this blade came out just way to easy.  Didn't have to do much other than a bit of shaping and stick it in an antler.

2nd: This turned into an point but the part that looks chipped is what I think would be quartz.  Not 100% sure

3rd: A small bird point next to the shop light cause the sun went down.
