Bought some chunks of Edward's while on the road.
Had some fun wiggiling this one out back here at home.

You did great on that one. I'll let you in on a little secret. Edwards is really my favorite rock to work. It's not fussy about heat treating, it knaps well, doesn't break easily and you can make really thin points with it. It's just not very glamorous. But...you can't argue with results, can you!

Thanks fellows
Dalton I agree with you. I do like me some Georgetown Blue too.
The material for the Scotty was heated. I just did some more along
with some English and VA jasper. They all came out nice at 500 degrees.
