My best point yet.
« on: September 14, 2013, 02:41:19 am »
The heat treating on the agate worked wonders at 580 deg.
 
I think I now know what everyone means when they say it worked like butter. I have been working raw stone up till now and raw agate is hard to work. It has been real hard to get thin I got this one thin 210 thousandths at its thickest point. Almost everything I tried to do seemed to work. :o I love the look of agates and hope this one was not just a fluke.

I just wanted to share my good luck with this point.

Thank you for looking.

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

Thank you everyone.

Mullet you are right. Agate is a form of chalcedony.
