Knockin off the dust
« on: December 03, 2014, 02:10:31 pm »
Ok , it's been a while since I've really sat down to break some rock.  Lately I've spent a few weekends bow hunting w/ Nathaniel ( Sasquach) on his family's ranch in Concan Tx. It's a blast. He has some of the most unique looking stone on that property.  It's tough stuff raw, but when heated it's like butter. Here is a point from one type of his stone.

Geeez, that is thin.

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

     OK, Mr. Smarty pants, back in the dusty corner!

Dang boy, that is thin, and just absolutely beautiful.  So stop it! Show some broken ones, or something.....

I had a girlfriend that skinny.
She had to run around in the shower to get wet.
Saaaweeet!

Wow great stuff! I've been experimenting with some stuff from San Antonio that I got on a hog hunt. So far so good! I love the way you finished out the notches! And nice and thin too!

You haven't missed a beat Don.  Good stuff as usual. Chris and I have another winter here in Michigan before we can get back out your way.

Love the very fine serrations on the edges. And that material looks really slick. That's about as pretty as they get.
