Andice from the start...
« on: August 11, 2013, 10:57:51 am »
Picked this nice sized rock out of the bucket the other day and had the forethought to snap a few pics of the process.




I love seeing the transformation from rock to point and thought some of you all might enjoy it also.










Have a Blessed day!

That rock worked alright with percussion, but was worthless with pressure. I decided to cut my losses and stopped trying to eliminate all the steps. Just went with what the rock gave me. Thinned down pretty well but detail work was a bear!!
