Coral blade

Here is a coral blade I started. I got the rock from Mullet and again THANX Eddie for the rock it is very unique I like it. I find it amazing how different climates make all kinds of different knappable sources. Well take a look it isnt done I may try and make it more refined haft a handle and ship it to Florida!

Looks good, Russ. A lot of people don't like that plain looking coral. But when it is heat treated perfect it makes some pretty, translucent points.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That is nice, and also the point at which I break them fairly consistently.
