1for 4
« on: June 17, 2016, 09:50:43 pm »
I sat down at the pit last night and broke 2 really nice performs before walking away really hot. Came back at it today and broke another before I got this one to hold together. Sometimes you just have to make some gravel. Hate to admit it, but I ain't perfect yet.  ;)







Knap on!

Nice knapping! Love the colors fading from pure white to that nice gray.

When your goal is a point that close to perfect your bound to break a few. I'd break every one. Beautiful point beautiful material nice work. Way to stick with it.

That's a beauty! Someday we'll have to knap together so I can pick up some tips. I always break pieces larger then a few inches or they have the bends.

Thanks guys.

Roger 2 is usually my limit, which is why I waited till next morning to get after it again. Guess we all go through those spells..

Dylan, if you wanna fly out here we can sure break some rock.  >:D

Lyman, I believe I've said that before... It's important to keep perspective.  ;)

Very nice Scott! I love the two tone that it has.
I don't Knapp but I think this applies here to.

Stix, when you get through that bucket, send up a smoke. I might could rummage some more.

Don - you know, like few others, how difficult that cortex can be to get through. Let's just say this piece made it look easy.
