I almost made a preform!!

(1/2) > >>

So close!  Coolest obsidian with some weird metallic green flecking look to it when I shifted it in the light.  Totally stoked to have gotten one that close, figured out the angles better this go round to get the thinning flakes to run all the way across the piece.

Progress!

bjrogg:
There you go. Congratulations I can see real improvements.

Parnell:
Way to go!  That's real progress! 

Sasquatch:
Looks like end shock, might be something else.  Either way don't hit preforms from the end unless you have isolated a platform and support it well.

paulc:
I wasn't hitting it on an end but I was hitting a spot that i kinda knew was borderline but close to a stack I wanted to remove....I'm happy I had a sense that the hit was bad but unhappy I didn't have enough sense to not hit it.  :o
