Photo # 1.  Behind the knife, in front of the photos....  Is that a hunk of Mahogany Obsidian ???

Thanks David 

bjrogg:
Yes Dave. That's from my first trip to the Primitive Archer meet at Marshall Michigan. I bought it from Frank one of the vendors there. He's a pretty good guy and being a farmer myself it's hard to believe I spent good $$ on a rock but I'm glad I did. Great place to get some supplies I can't find at home.

RidgeRunner:
I have a hunk of rock at home that has a strange story behind it.
For years I have thought it " might " be Mahogany Obsidian.....  It looks just like your rock.
So, Now I am even more convinced.

We are no longer farmers.  The Land is still owned by family.  About half is leased out to hay cutters and cattle grazers.

Thanks
David

bjrogg:
Dave I'd have to hit it if it was me. I'm always picking up rock and giving it a wack. I find some knapable stuff here but most is either very low grade or freeze cracked or both.
Bjrogg

PNewton:
Great looking knife BJ.
