Title: Agate Basin
Post by: Chippintuff on April 21, 2017, 09:19:17 pm

I made this yesterday. Is anything about it not authentic looking? I know there are probably copper traces on it, and I know that it has no patina at all, but is the flaking a good representation?

I must have made the flakes a little too perfect. I was hoping to keep it within the range of what has been found. I know that some of them were not pressure flaked much if any, while others had a lot of pressure flaking on them. I'll make another one and see whether I can get it a little more correct.
