I sat down today after work to work on this nice little piece of Sedalia Chert that Shannon gave me. For those of you who arent familiar with this stuff it comes from one little source in Missouri. Its a pleasure to work and has some AWESOME color as you can see. Its up there with HC in my book :o Anyway, I was thinkin bout that rock all day and just had to turn it into somethin when I got home. Heres what I ended up with ;) Its 3"L x 2"W with 1" deep notches with an 8:1 ratio. Thanks fer lookin! :) :) :)

That is exactly what I was thinking. The gods were with you on this one!

You did that rock right! Only I kinda think it might be called "Shoto" :-\... Whatever it is. it's perty!!!

Thanks guys! Jamie, John, I know what u mean. I thought about taking it farther then that Big one popped out! :o thought I lost it. Same thing happened on the other side just not as deep.
Shannon- thanks again for the rock man! What's the difference in Sedalia and Shoto?
-
:) Beautiful point!!! How do you get the notches so deep though :o???
-
You done that one justice for sure Will! Looks like you picked up a mixture of Shannon and Jesse style knapping with a little of your own thrown in and then used Shannon's photography skills with the pic's. Lol :D. Them boys are gonna get you hooked up there, ha...

Mitch, thanks man ;) I punch notched the notches with a nail punch and striker. For more info on how it's done try doing a search fro punch notching in YouTube or just google it ;)
Paul- thanks buddy! You know it's hard to be around those two and nit pick up a little something here and there ;)

Got love that stone Will just Great! John Whittaker did a punch demo for me so I may give it a shot in the near future.

There is just no way at all that I will ever be able to notch like that! That's just impressive! Josh
