I like the large size. The Banding really shows up in the pic. Great preform.

Well done! I love making preforms :) sometimes that's all I do for a week. The hard part for me is getting around to finishing them.  ::)

I have a bunch of obsidian like that.  It seems to like to fracture along those bands.  good job on that one.

I just can't leave them in preform state.  As soon as I get one done I begin to see point possibilities and have to press on.  Of course that sometimes results in multiple pieces. :-[

I need to get some rock of my own so I can finish some points! I am learning alot by doing this preform work.  It is helping me understand the impotance of thining early. Tower's thining technique is a huge help!
