Title: horned demon
Post by: iowabow on May 27, 2011, 12:30:20 pm

I was thinning the base and these horns started to appear.  I just rolled with it and tried to pull out the same look on the other side.  This is more of the flint from leapingbare.  It was very hard to work because it would step easy on me but I love the color.

That's Flint Ridge from the Nethers farm.  Are you sure it was that rock that had the oily smell  ???
