Pin Head Coral

<< < (2/2)

Bone pile:
You did a good job on the points . Pinhead can be tricky sometimes. Mullet nailed it, Pasco County coral.

bjrogg:
Thanks Roger. I worked on another one of the spalls with the cortex on again.

Sure wish I could have gotten that hump off. The white stuff under the cortex works a little differently than the colored stuff lower

Any suggestions for getting that hump off?

mullet:
Make what I call a,"booger picker". File a horse shoe nail down to a fine, flat point or a copper tip. then lay it against that hinge ledge, then hit it hard with indirect percussion. Try to knock the top off of it.

Thanks Eddie. I will have to try making a tool for that.
