Cooking rock
Chippintuff:
In a lot of cases my stone that changed color nicely lost most of the color change as I got deeper removing flakes. I think that to get the max color change in the finished point it would be best to flake down pretty close to finished before cooking. I know that some of it is a bugger to work before cooking, and a compromise has to be reached. Maybe you could save some color change on the tip and/or a side.

I've been toying with idea of cooking some then making performs and cooking again. Might try it with a couple next time. I'd love the color but really for myself I just want to make some really nice points and some really good hunting points. I did put a point that my brother had worked raw in that was full of steps and stacks. It had beautiful color after cooking and he he'd to give up a little size but came out with a really nice hunting point with some very interesting color.

^^ this thread needs some photos ;D
interested in seeing at least the latest hunting point that resulted from your cooking.
bjrogg:
Your right le0n I'll try my best to get some up soon but I've been to busy to get them all edited. I have some pictures and I'll take some more I don't have wi-fi so I have to edit pictures at shop.
