Stupid Texas stupid untreated stupid rock

It takes a lot of practice to learn what you can get from a horseshoe nail and what you can't get. Practice makes better. They will do a lot, but they won't do everything. That point looks well made and sharp. It will outlast a pile of obsidian points. Most Texas rock is tough as a turtle's back till it is cooked, and even then some of it is difficult. The benefits are durability and variety in colors and texture.

Don't get down on Texas. It beats the socks off most places.

Looks like a darn good hunting point to me. I do cook mine up in a turkey roaster to tame it down a bit.  I like Texas rock. I try and bring a couple of 5 gallon buckets of it  home when we go out west for the winter.

I need to go visit friends and get more rock. And chase some hogs! I didn't like Texas while I was there but thinking back on it I just didn't like what I was doing there(tasked to assist the stupidest unit in the army get ready for a "deployment" to fort Irwin. As I was out processing!). But if I took the army parts away it was a lot of fun and everyone is so much nicer! Get more public land and I'll come back.
