thought I'd spend a lil time to post a few things I've made. There hasn't been enough time in the day to break stone like I used to. Here are a few of my latest. I have a couple more I'll post later
Special thanks to Iowabow for cooking my novaculite spall. It knapped like candy. I hope y'all enjoy

It's always a real treat to see your work!

Uh... wow! Some kinda nice right there!

That is some of the nicest work I've seen. That corner tang is legendary, epic effort.

Crap, every time I see your work, I just want to take all my stone, and tools, and toss them in the garbage!
Those are just absolutely beautiful! You and the others on here that do work like that, drive me nuts. I still can't seem to get the hang of it! I can make functional, but not pretty. Those are really great!

Nice work...the big blade beside the matching rock is great..good way to show what can be made from rock.
-
Very nice, thanks for sharing. An inspiration for most of us beginners.
-
Awesome! That blade is amazing.
-
Wow. Beautiful work.

Some killer work. That corner tang is nuts. Love when you can clearly see where they came from on the parent rock.
-
You sure do know how to make them.
-
Those are some beautiful points.
-
So did he cook that black rock?! It looks great. And if he did and it works that much better, why do I hear people say " you cant cook black rock"? I have some black novaculite just sitting around, would love to know the recipe.

Thank y'all for the compliments Gents.
Knapper, John only heated the spall. The stone itself is still untreated. I know John used a kiln to heat it, my roaster only gets up to 500*.
Black or not, it took heat well.
-
Awesome work, beautiful points
-
SWEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
-
I can pm folks the recipe but knapper it was a 5 day cook in a programable controller to step up and down.
Tower I am soooooooo happy to see that you produced a point from that stone and to top it off an amazingly beautiful one to boot. You are an amazing talent!!!
-
iowabow, I have a kiln, Ive just heard black rock didn't take heat... What is the max temp and hold time?
