This is some of Cowboy's rootbeer (raw). Knocked off a nice flake that I promply proceded to break in half trying to thin it with a hammer stone, and ended up with a piece about 2" long and 1" wide left. The original piece was about 4" long and would have made a killer Dalton, but I should have Ishi=ed where I hammer stoned. Live and learn.
Anyway, here is what I salvaged and I was set on wanting a Dalton out of it. Just a small point and will likely be in the line up this fall on the end of a stick. Knowing I needed a few more hunting points, I quit while I was ahead with the thinning and just left it a little beefy. Ive been getting kind of greedy every since Mr. Shannon "Saw Filer" learned me a little pressure flakin and trying to get them paper thin with good flake scars and been breaking a lot of perdy would-be's. I got neither paper thin nor perdy out of this. It should be transluscent, but there is a white inclusin that seems to be common in root beer that is blocking part of the light, because parts of the middle are thinner than the tip. It's ugly but I hope it'll bust a lung or two this fall. I'll wait and send Paul something perdier out of his rock unless he just wants this one. Oh and Shannon...I need a lesson in serrations!
Likes 1/16th" being 1" wide and 1/16" being 2" long
