Abo Heat treat and some points and blades
Sasquatch:
So i recently have been abo heating stone. Ive had some good results and some bad. I took some pics of the depth and layout of my stone. This batch was medium rough perdanales and other tx stone. some of it was pretty course stuff. I had a piece of sugary rootbeer in there but it blew up. lay the corser stones in middle as that will get the hottest. Cover to the rock to about 2 in in depth. Build a fire with real logs if you can, stir the fire every now and then to make sure heating equally all around. I usually spread fire into a circle after an hr or so. This will keep the heat towards the edges also. 5 hrs of fire and let it burn out. Wait 48 hrs then pull them up they still might be hott even then.
here are some abo heat treat and abo knapped heads. nothing special juts getting back into abo.

Sasquatch:
Green is from a slab, this is the first big slab ive produced. I dont know what material it is. It was a gift from a friend Jerry Hinkle
bjrogg:
Very interesting Sasquatch, your sand doesn't look like it's very dry. I've been wanting to try this method on some really grainy tough local stuff. Thanks for posting. That Snyder belongs up top in the POM if it's not already and that green is real sweet
