Title: Brother in law wanted one
Post by: Tracker0721 on January 04, 2021, 02:15:06 pm

I feel really good about this lace one. Brother in law said he really liked the look of it when I spalled it off last night so today I made him a point from it! From flake to finished piece it followed the programming and I only had a couple hinges to deal with from not getting enough in pressure before popping down. The red guy though I don’t like. It snapped and I tried to save it and lost motivation and it’s now in my chunk pile. Could save it but it’s under an inch wide now and not gonna be a hunter soooo trash.

The red one would be a good bunny point, it would do a lot of damage but no big deal if it is lost or broken.

I’ve got some obsidian from the butts just like the dark one with the clear streaks. It’s my favorite obsidian to work. Seems like some strong stuff and not so easy to crush.

Yeah it knapped really well! My favorite though is the red with clear and black lace. Actually, I think dacite is.
