Title: Blacktails work
Post by: Blacktail on November 23, 2008, 01:33:26 am

These are just some points that I have done lately. One is a point made of India Jasper. Another one is made of Burns green that was cut from a slab. The black and yellow one is a Jasper that is local here in Prineville. The knife with the handle wrap is Jasper from the Richardson Rock Ranch.

 very nice work John. You should have got in the point swap, lots of fun and you definately have some skill.  Heck load the family and come over for a visit and we can swap some points in person. ;)

HEy John,

When I used to live in Oregon I used to find some small chunks of yellow/brown jasper just east of Redmond.  Seems like there's larger pieces of jasper over there in Prineville.  Do you know the extent of the jasper deposit in that area?  I Think I might have just been on the fringes of it where I was.  Seems like you've got stuff more from the heart of the deposit....and that's some beautiful stuff.

Billy
