Title: Working on a Marion.
Post by: Parnell on May 12, 2014, 10:20:41 pm

I'm not far off, this is my first try at a point like this.  What do you think, try to taper a shoulder a little more?

 ;D ;D ;D  Thanks guys, it means a lot.

Will H gave me a piece of kentucky black and I got two real nice spall pieces.  This is the first.
Thanks again Will, I'm very appreciative.

Thanks for posting Shannon, sorry I didn't get to spend more time with ya in TN.
Derik, I will stay knappy, for sure!
Hope to see you soon, Roger!

I'm not really sure, Knapper.  As Will H called, it "Kentucky Black". ???  Or Tennessee Black???
I'm still not very good with identifying names of rock, I'm learning...
