Title: Monday's point
Post by: Bevan R. on April 16, 2012, 10:58:22 pm

Started on this on my lunch hour today then finished it when I got home. It is 4" long and 1.75" wide at the base. Interesting obsidian. One side is mahogany and the other almost solid black. With a little clear at the base.

No, I figure it will help the belt line if I break rock instead of bread for lunch.

Yes, Bubby. This came from Josh. I have never seen a piece like this. One side looks mahogany, the other like a sheen. with some clear near the edges. Other than the piece still under my thumbnail, I liked this piece.

All I had for lunch was Mongolian Grill!   >:D

Bevan, your flirtation with the darkside needs to end.  Put down the flakers and pick up the draw knife.  Do it for your kid's sake.  Ok, the cat's sake.  Oh, and send me that point!

Seriously, you are making incredible strides with this stonework, buddy.  That point is a show piece, sweet!
