Got a few different pieces made this weekend. A guy gave me a few nice pieces of novaculite and then handed me this dark piece, he said it was the core and very hard to work. I asked if it would heat and he said no. So I figured I had nothing to lose and went ahead and beat it down to size. It worked alright, but not great and left a lot of steps.
The hardin is a piece of perdenales and it had a crack right down the middle of the rock that I had to work around and make sure it didn't give out on me. I love the way that rock worked.
The corner notch is some local rock that I haven't identified, but I practiced my punch notching on it and suprised myself with how it turned out.
The rest are mostly burlington taht I pick up around here.
Enjoy
