     Beautiful!  Nice work.  Wish my stuff was like that.  I finally got a decent spall off of a chunk of rock Eddie gave me.  Haven't done anything with it yet, just been happy that I finally got a spall, and not a bunch chunks.  Been holding it, and looking at it, and telling it what a nice spall it is.  Even though it could've been a little more uniform, but still a nice sized piece.  Now that you have your Christmas shopping all done, you can make some more of those.  I would like to see more.  At this point, I like to keep going "ooohh, Awww Mannn"  keeps me inspired to keep trying to get out of the " Rock breaker, smacker, and granulater " phase.
I have quit cussing the rock, and started apologizing to it, and I think that might have helped me to whack a nice spall off of the chunk of stone.  I am going to go to the thrift store tomorrow, and see if they have any toaster ovens, and start heat treating some rock, like Eddie does.  :)
