Texas gravel
« on: November 04, 2014, 08:13:56 pm »
Nathaniel  (Sasquach) give me a sweet piece of heated Tx gravel a couple weeks ago.  I was shocked at the color inside.    It should have been a half inch longer & one side is a lil off. This is what was in the stone.

Wow, never seen Texas rock like that.

Wonder what it is, what is the source.

By the way Don, super job as always.

That is such a cool point! Thanks for posting one, finally.  ;D. The rock was picked up in Bryan tx, it is part of the Brazos River gravel.  I heat treated it with a turkey roster. I think it got to 475-500 for 6-7 hrs.   I'm glad I left it in the hands of a master.  I'll bring more to bow bust this weekend.

Put's a whole new meaning to "gravel". I have made some gravel and none of it looked like that. Awesome knapping and color and everything else.
