I'm new here , That point is amazing . obviously there is some kind of magic at work here . How else can you explain flaking little pieces off and it coming out so symmetric . Now I'm going to have to look around North Georgia for rock that is susceptible to this form of witchcraft . Very nice work .
I have to think outside the box .They caught me outside and changed the locks.
