Pretty rock
« on: December 31, 2009, 11:14:37 pm »
I got some pretty, new rock the other day and made this Dovetail and the "Milk Cow" pine tree from it.  I think they're both heat treated Flint Ridge. That pine tree was kinda tough. The flakes seemed to be pretty unpredictable. ???  The other little one was from a small flake of Georgetown.   I love that stuff ;D

Sweet looking points. There is something about "new rock" that sounds funny.  ;D

Nice chippin. Beautiful rock. I am always inspired by the workmanship I see on here.

Shannon, I am really looking forward to watching you chip a rock or two at the classic. Your flake pattern is amazing.

Lessons ::)..........I should be getting lessons from you!
  I start my notches with pressure, but finish them by punching with a horseshoe nail. 
I want to send you a picture of that big rock. Where do I send it?
