Today's results.
« on: February 24, 2010, 08:05:33 pm »
Took a sick day - too sick to work but not knap right ;D? A piece of Burlington, Keokuk and two KY blues. Finished the dovey but got tired of pressure work. Anybody ever notice that petroleum smell with the KY blue?

 Nice, Paul. I thought you disappeared again. Love that dovetail and I had one piece that smelled kinda oily, but was more like Hydrogen Sulfide, you know , rotten eggs.

Thanks guys! I like that Burlington Timo, may have to get more later. Think I got the flu, feel like s$^& today too so may have to do it again. I finished the notches with a punch. That's what I meant Eddie - kinda rotten egg smell..

 It's probally trapped Hydrogen Sulfide gas, that's why it dissipates  after awhile.

Yup, only smell it while I'm working on it. Have some rocks down here with the same smell. Finished up that piece of blue as a small blade and tried another piece of Burlington. Man I like these materials, both work like a dream..
