Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Thanks guys.....

I have tons of obsidian. I have banded, purple sheen, smoked, and some that resembles dacite. I just don't have much mahogany. When the snow melts on the pit I will go find it.  I don't know how he would fit 40# in a box. I have shoved more obsidian into a flat rate box than will really fit. I never got over 30#.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. Now if I could really learn how to knapp. I am just a slab knapper.  ::)
Eddie, I wish I had as much of this obsidian as I do the other colors. Unfortunately I don't find much of the mahogany stuff. I was told where there was a whole bunch, but haven't been able to find it yet.
