Title: Sad day. No more Novaculite

Well this is the last of the cool novaculite I got at Flint ridge.
It was a pleasure working with it. :)

Dang! I hate to hear that.
You did a mighty fine job of working what you had.

Thanks gents
Here is the novaculite enchilada.
I had no dissatisfaction with this
material overall. A bit laminated
but overcome with proper grinding.

Thanks leOn.
Turbo actually I got the novaculite from a fellow/s
just across the break from Craig Ratsman.
If you were looking into Craig's tent the vendor I
bought from would have been directly behind you.
Unfortunately I thought I had at least one photo
of his stand but I didn't.
