Title: Lightening bolt
Post by: turtle on October 18, 2012, 07:48:41 pm

I made this point today. I wish i could remember what kind of stone it is. Any way point should have been twice as big,  but the bolt kept wanting to stack. I finaly got it down to this and called it good. Thanks for looking.

I believe I would've snapped that one right at the pretty stuff.  Looks great, good work.
