Out of the roaster and onto the shaft
« on: June 30, 2016, 03:53:08 pm »
I knapped this one from the butterscotch flint river I cooked in my wife's roaster. I halvted it onto a Red Osier shoot that I filed down till it shot perfect bare shaft.

Thanks guys. I agree Eddie I like this stuff especially since it's been cooked. I got my last few points pretty thin hopefully not to thin, I dropped one and broke it in two😞 But it seems like it's cooked perfect it's not brittle and strong enough to take a good flake. Thanks le0n pictures all on my phone. Thanks Knotty old glory is kinda special to me and she goes good with my markings too. Hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July

Looks like you got it just right. When it cooks too much it is a darker red and crumbles.

And the rockets red glare! >:D
Very nice, especially since you took the chance
of being subject to Mama's wrath.
 Now you have something to defend yourself with >:D

I don't know if that's a good idea. It'd be like bear hunting I'd better make a clean shot or I'd just make her really mad. Lol. All kidding aside she puts up with me and that says a lot

Thanks Stixnstones, Thanks Phyankord the heat treatment made the color change. It was a butterscotch color and still is if you remove very much material. The thinner pieces the color went all the way through.

I put it in wife's turkey roaster with dry sand. Started at 190 on the dial left it there over night, next morning ramped it up 75 degrees every 45 min. till at highest setting 450 let it soak there for about 6 hours turned down to 300 over night turned off in morning left in sand in roaster for 2 days till cool. Make sure sand is dry I always save my cooked sand and keep it dry. I leave it at 200 so long to dry stones without making steam and breaking them. This was flint river and it turns red when it's cooked. If you look at my cooking stone thread there are pictures the first cook was conservative and helped but second cook was more aggressive you can see color difference in pictures. You might want to start conservative and see how it works you can always cook it again more aggressive if it doesn't work but some stone this recipe would be to high of temp. I ruined some Texas flint once. What kind of stone did you buy trapper and is it spalled?
