Title: Had to take some photos before I gave out Xmas gifts.
Post by: Majuba Tom on December 20, 2014, 08:32:13 pm

Still trying to get better pictures but that takes practice too.

1st and 2nd pic is some of my recent work,

3nd pic is what I still have from what I made this year. A lot of it is for Xmas gifts.

4th pic is what I was making my first year of knapping. It is interesting to see the progress I made from the 1st year to the 2nd year of breaking rock.

Enjoy they will just keep getting better. At least that is what the plan is. ;)

Good work.
Either you napped 8 hours a day for year one or you are a natural.

Neuse definitely not a natural. However I was on a real good swing shift till a few months ago. It allowed me to chip 2 to 3 hours a day 3 to 4 days a week weather permitting. So I had plenty of time to destroy a lot of rock. My lack of patients is the hardest thing to control but I am slowly getting better. I take more breaks now and it helps a lot.

Santa is going to make some people real happy with those gifts. Great looking stuff! (hated to use the word stuff, but was having a hard time coming up with a better word).
