Post by: bowmo on December 22, 2008, 02:17:00 pm

i dont love slabs, kinda boring, but got a nice group of them on ebay for cheap...although not the type of obsidian that was shown in the pictures but i spose still nice enough.

thanks guys.

ricochet: nope much easier...too easy really. the hard part to learn with knapping is getting them thin...the saw does that that for you with slabs
