Idle times
« on: September 15, 2013, 09:52:52 pm »
I haven't knapped very much in the last few weeks. I thought I'd show a necklace I made for my brother, & a Kerrville knife. The arrowhead on the necklace was made from a piece of stone from Patrick. The Kerrville I made today from some of Paul's stone. I still need to square the edges on it.  I hope y'all enjoy.  Tower

Don, man, that is a good looking necklace. Is that rock the translucent tan with the chalky cortex?

That's great Don! Glad you were able to get something big from one of those rocks :). That necklace though, got any spares laying around :)?
