Title: Coral blade
Post by: AncientArcher76 on October 27, 2010, 03:57:17 pm

Here is a coral blade I started.  I got the rock from Mullet and again THANX Eddie for the rock it is very unique I like it.  I find it amazing how different climates make all kinds of different knappable sources.  Well take a look it isnt done I may try and make it more refined haft a handle and ship it to Florida! ;)

 Looks good, Russ. A lot of people don't like that plain looking coral. But when it is heat treated perfect it makes some pretty, translucent points.
