I'll agree with ya on that. He has some real nice stone, especially when it has a little pink in it.

Those look real nice!! Nice work.  I think that the drills were used in soft material.

Those are both sweet looking.  I've made a few drills before and only broke two.  One had a freeze fracture and I made the other too thin.

Looking good, Bob. I've got one I made from Onadoga and have been using it for years without it breaking.
