Title: My latest projects.
Post by: Tower on July 28, 2016, 09:04:27 pm

I haven't been posting much lately. Work has kept me covered up something fierce.
The 1st is just a point made from TX Chert.
The second is a pair of letter openers & cholla stand I made, just for the heck of it. 
Both blades TX stone.
The last knife is for Cip he helped me out a while back on acquiring a few items. I was told the stone was petrified cactus, but I honestly can't Say. The antler is from a fallow I shot a few years back  I'm still working on its pedestal.

That's how you do it right there. Glad that it slowed down enough for you to get to relax a little.
