Shew, finally! Inspired by a gift from a fine gentleman Mr. Roger Hostetler "bone pile" I got one made after breaking five or six :(. Here it is right quick - now I gotta go have fun at the river ;D.

Thanks guys! Yup, that was quite a challenge for me. I wound up punching in the notches after a few dissapointing moments on others with pressure >:( ::). No fishin at the river John. Just relaxing, throwing back a few and gathering up some quartzite for next months challenge ;).

Nice points Paul :) Gathering quartzite eh :) I have to go raid the city park as I'm out of quartzite :o Hope I can find a nice big chunk :)
My bruises have almost faded from the last time I worked quartzite so I guess I'm ready to try again eh :)

Thanks GregB, Jamie. Yep, Dana - next months challenge I think will actually be quite the challenge with this junky rock ::) ;D. I picked up several, thier's not much there and it's just little rounded river cobbles. Different colors and grades - the purple is the best. I whacked on em as I was picking them up and am intrigued to say the least 8).

paul those little cobbles are what i like for making scrapers. Stand them on end and give em awack. Wouldnt take much more to turn em into a point.
