riverrat:
just river rock. i use that hard pecking stone on a sample . if it pecks it, i use it, if it breaks a little off the pecking stone i know its too hard of rock for a bearing block. i then use it for a hammer stone if its rounded and smooth.if its no good for that, i toss it . many more stones out there lol.  Tony

riverrat:
im thinking they used a simular tool to make stone pipes.not the red pipe stone ones, but the ones found round these parts out of common stones. you can peck out the bowl, then peck the outside of the pipe to shape, then youd have to drill the hole in the stone to the bowl for the pipe stem to fit. but yea. im thinking on making me a pipe done just this way. im gonna put some serious thought into this. i want a effigy pipe. so im going to need a idea of what i want then find a suitable shaped rock to start out with.Tony

Jodocus:
Interesting project, the pipe. I'd sure love to see it if it gets done.  ;D
