Abo Heat treat and some points and blades
Hawkdancer:
Nice work, the " Long Green" is quite a piece :KN. looks like a neat fire ring, too. Unfortunately, I don't think I could make one in the backyard, and with the high fire danger we are having, a remote pit is out of the question😩 With the mavias gauche, I'm Just about a few weeks from being able to start knapping, I think. See the hand lady tomorrow for a session and prognosis. Doc said don't rush it, though. It hurts when I do that! Don't do that😂👹. Got to put a few home made tools together to go along with the store bought stuff, right now, I'm getting ready to gather some shafts to get seasoning, and maybe trade. Again, nice work.

That backlit one made with copper is my favorite. Nice chipping.
I have fire treated only one batch. I made sure the stones and the dirt were as dry as possible. My burn time and cooling time were about the same as yours. The best I can remember, none of mine blew up. Some were premium and a few still needed heat.

The long, green, thingy looks like Berns obsidian. I'd like to get some more of that.
