Title: Yet another shrinking rock...
Post by: bowmo on April 10, 2015, 07:20:40 pm

Getting a small point from a large rock...My signature move. Got this piece of Nethers at Flint Ridge this summer and finally tapped into it today. Antler percussion, copper edge work. Such a neat, beautiful, crazy, stubborn material to work with.
