Title: soapstone bird
Post by: Outbackbob48 on October 20, 2018, 11:23:20 am

Not sure if this one goes here. Had a pc of soapstone that I used for bearing block on bowdrill that drilled thru fairly quick, today decided to do something with stone with a hole in it. I saw a bird trapped in there so I freed him, Way easier than flintknapping, roughed it out then sanded a gave a coat or two of boiled linseed oil and a little hand rub. this is my first attempt at using soapstone , I need to get some more.

A bird in the hand!  Not sure about the bush!  Nice job, art for art's sake!  Now for a pipe!  Although that will require drilling!

Nice job reusing the soapstone bearing Outback. Might have to start calling you Ravine Bob if you start wearing it for knapper bling.
