Title: My Best ABO yet
Post by: iowabow on June 14, 2012, 04:11:16 pm

I focused on equal flake removal during the reduction to the preform stage. Then prepared platforms for opposite side edges. So I had a platform on the front and back. The reason is to prevent overshot. The otherside did not work but i figure it was due to running flakes  base to tip first. Anyway I was shocked that they kept running the face and were matching. What an ABO ride that was.
