Title: Lazy Sunday afternoon
Post by: Stringman on January 13, 2013, 05:41:19 pm

Had a chance to peck this little dalton out while waiting for the shop to warm up. It's a flake I got from Carson that started out pretty thin. I was able to keep most of the length but left a touch of the "pringle" in it.

Just a touch over 1/8" thick.

Thanks guys. I don't usually have much luck with going that thin, but I wanted to try. Tower, your points are my inspiration. I figured if you could do it with TX rock I oughta at least try with obsidian.
