Stupid Texas stupid untreated stupid rock
Tracker0721:
Been loving my obsidian and feeling like a good knapper so I decided to play with some Texas rock I had found. It's stupid. Dunno what it is but it bent my notching tool. A horseshoe nail. Stiff side bent. Arthritis has now developed in my elbow too. But, I made this and got it sharp using stringmans methods.
le0n:
it can wear you and your tools down if you don't treat it.
we treated some last month and i still can't get it to work. so i've put it aside for now.
by the way, nice work on that one.
Stringman:
Might be tough as dino turds, but looks sharp! And pointy!! Get a new horseshoe nail, I hear ya got a few extra. >:D 8)

Be careful saying "Stupid Texas" Ole Sam Houston will rise from the grave.
It looks like you have some pretty nice Edwards and if you heat it up you
won't be bending all your Obsissian tools. lol >:D
