Post by: jonathan creason on November 15, 2010, 05:50:07 pm: Thanks guys! I like the dacite a bunch. Works really nice, and seems like it would be fairly durable, too. I can get a bunch of really nice, flat flakes off of the bigger spalls too, which has lead to me trying to fill a Crown Royal bag with bird points.

Yeah, I'm the ruggedly handsome brother-in-law, Eddie. Although, I would still hide my dacite from them. Ain't nobody taking this stuff from me.
