my first big blade
« on: April 21, 2015, 08:11:55 pm »
this is some Carrera glass tile I got from hickorybill, after seeing cowboys big blade it inspired me to give one a try, all pressure 12 5/8" long and man was I happy when I got it finished and still had one point, the white point is some of the same stuff and I like knapping this material, thanks for looking

Never made one that big before, I think it would make one pretty tense as you get close to the end.
