Title: My first atempt at a dalton
Post by: ducosniffer on June 27, 2009, 10:55:24 pm

Well I guess if you can't beat the heat, might as well beat on some rocks.  I usually don't post much, but decided I would start sharing some of my work.  At least it will help me to improve hopefully.  Here are my first three daltons, I think they are a neat point.  I'm sure they need some more pressure work, might tweak them a little tomorrow. That first one is twice resharpened also.  Hope you guys like, tips are always appreciated.

Hey ducco, you should post more often. Your not a beginner - that show's in your pressure work. Those are some nice Dalton's - keep on chippin :).

He should change his handle to "ShyShane" ;D  I told him to start posting more....He will. I remember when Shane first started beating on his legs....I mean rocks. ;D He has come along ways in a couple years.

Shannon, that is Novaculite. The boy is kinda like Dana,only not in wood but rocks. I guess the term is "Rock whore"? ;D

Ha, well thanks for the comments guys.  Timo is right on both counts I guess, lol.  I've got several different flavors of that navaculite, the source for it is actually closer to me than the keokuk.
