Title: Obsidian preforms from Ben
Post by: Parnell on October 12, 2016, 05:45:54 pm

YosemiteBen sent me two obsidian preforms with his point from the past PITH.  I finished them up.  That e-notch is my first attempt at that.  Came out ok, I guess, but a little sloppy.  Notching is definitely my next big hurdle to get at.

Both of them look sharp. The E notch's are a little bit big.

I like the way the red is left on the base. :)
Both would make good pig stickers. 8)

I like the way the red is only in the base.
