Title: Crappy weather results
Post by: Bone pile on April 22, 2012, 03:16:13 pm

Well when the world hands ya a no fish day you can always hit the rock pile.I grabed a couple pieces of novaculite I bought up at the Flint Ridge knapp-inn last fall and had at it.The first one had some nice lines  and color ,I stopped at this stage till I figure out what I want to do with it as far as notching etc.

The last one started getting translucent as I thinned it out.It was a stange shape to begin with and I wanted to save as much as I could so it became a corner tang knife.

Nice , can't wait to see how you finish out the preform, and the corner tang looks great. Speaking of crappy weather, we just got a spring snow storm an my garden got about 2" of snow lying on it  :'(Maybe some free nitrogen :-\ Later Bob
