Title: The knapping elves were good to me today!
Post by: FlintWalker on July 25, 2011, 03:02:07 am
I've been throwing a small fan of under cooked coral out of the way for months now. I knew it had some nice color but wasn't sure there was even enough rock there to mess with. I loaded up my turkey roaster last week and threw it in with some other under heated coral and some Pedernales I got from Cowboy.
 Cooking was successfull and really made cleaning up that coral a lot easier. This coral head was only about an inch thick and the size of my palm with a thick chalky cortex all over. I was an hour skinning it but what was hiding under there was worth it.
 Last picture is it with two other coral Daltons...all headed back to Florida this week.

Those are sure nice looking points Saw Filer, how do you go about making the serrations on the side and do you sharpen then after you remove the flakes?

     Careful there Timo, he just might have short man's syndrome, and jump up and kick you in the knee cap! :o
Beautiful points.  Yep Shannon, I think you should get with the other wood gnomes, and head on over to the Monastery in Bulgaria, for a few years.  You can learn to make beer, and get a neat robe with hood, and you get to wear sandals, and eat cheese, and drink the beer you made, and you can have contests to see who can cut the cheese first. ::)  You can have a lot of fun over there. ;)  Ok, they are beautiful points, now go get your $#@#@! airline tickets. >:(

Not complaining, but you were most likely born a few hundred years later then you should have been. If you'd been born back then, we would probably be reading about you in the history books now!  :)
