Just pushing it a little and sure I could take it down a little more but will leave it at that for now...its a piece of texas stone and its so thin its translucent. I kinda used a method curtis smith showed me up at letchworth..I think it works.

Nice work. I'd like to know more about "Mr. Thin's" methodology, which you have obviously learned. That Texas stuff does lend its self particularly well to thinning IMHO.

Unfortunatly I dropped the dang thing and it broke...but Mr.Thins method is similar to Jim Spears...its more inward than downward. I will show u later.

Here's a preform using moose bopper..its super thin...all percussion so if I pressure flaked it it would be thinner. I'm happy as I'm kinda new with the ABO work.
