Title: trade point
Post by: Stringman on March 08, 2012, 11:24:49 pm

One down! This is a piece of my brown Co chert (burlington) with a little heat. Was trying for a marcos, but after blowin a little of the ear off I changed gears and went with a corner notch. Practicing with the punch notching and finding some confidence in it.

Now try to find another decent piece to knock out my second.

Damn, ya'll need to ease up.  Somebody's going to be sorely disappointed when they get a chunk of rock from me. 

That's some real fine work.

Thanks guys! I'm really lookin forward to seein what all is made for this trade. Should be a nice display of talent and material. I don't know what everyone else is doing, but I'm using local rock so that whoever gets my point knows it came from me, both the rock and the talent. Some folks have to use rock they've traded for and I get that, but I'm just speaking for myself.

Thanks Tim, I've ben missing seein your work on here. Hope everythins ok on the home front. If you ain't too busy next weekend we are havin a little get togethr up in Iowa. Will be doin some chippin and bow building and stuff of that ilk. Pm me if interested.

Here's another I chipped out. I'm not sure it's a candidate for the trade but it turned out decent.
