Crackin the stone a lil
« on: March 27, 2016, 09:43:58 pm »
thought I'd spend a lil time to post a few things I've made. There hasn't been enough time in the day to break stone like I used to.  Here are a few of my latest.   I have a couple more I'll post later
Special thanks to Iowabow  for cooking my novaculite spall. It knapped like candy. I hope y'all enjoy

It's always a real treat to see your work!

That is some of the nicest work I've seen.  That corner tang is legendary, epic effort.
As always thank you for posting.

     Crap, every time I see your work, I just want to take all my stone, and tools, and toss them in the garbage!
     Those are just absolutely beautiful!  You and the others on here that do work like that, drive me nuts.  I still can't seem to get the hang of it!  I can make functional, but not pretty.  Those are really great!

Nice work...the big blade beside the matching rock is great..good way to show what can be made from rock.

Some killer work. That corner tang is nuts. Love when you can clearly see where they came from on the parent rock.
