Title: dove tail
Post by: Bone pile on May 15, 2009, 10:46:29 am

It seems like whenever I start working on a flintridge spall it turn's into a dove tail.I'll have to ask Roy Miller if he puts some kind of MOJO on the rock he sells ;D ::)
It's like when you screw up a peice of pottery you put a couple groves in it and it's an ashtray.When I tear into a peice of flint ridge I put two groves in it and it's a dove.

Nothin' wrong with dovetails if they all look like that.

Very nice.

If I could make a dove tail like you do I would consider myself a professional dovetailer.
