That's just plain insane! ;D
I hope that's a keeper even for you!

Excuse my ignorance, but where is the "Flint River" from?
It looks alot like a coastal plain?

Beautiful work!

SSSWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT! Nice chippin', Jesse. Joe, Flint River is a high-grade butterscotch/swirly colored variety of Coastal Plains that comes from the Flint River in GA.

  That is SWEET!, Jesse. I love working that stuff.  Did you notice I only told one person about your load of rock, and he kept it a secret too. I figured everybody would be beating your door down if I blabbed it on here. ;D

  yea he called me up and said.. "when am i going to get some flint river."
But yea i think i am going to hang on to most of it.. I like it because it solid and dose not have cracks and there large pieces.. i mean i got one blank that it 18-20'' long and 10-12'' wide.. i hope to make a large dagger outa that piece.
