Title: Ice blue Hardin
Post by: Outbackbob48 on April 17, 2018, 04:19:46 pm

Dug out some of my least favorite material and started chippin , See what I could come up with. Ended up with a 6" Hardin style point. Hardin's look easy but for me the base is a deal breaker. Thanks for lookin and comments either way are welcome :KN (S) Bob

Real nice piece of work!  Like the snow pic!  Blue glass?  I'm still learning the various chipping mediums.

That snow is nuts...it's almost May!  Hope you guys have some kind of spring and it doesn't just turn into July next week.
Nice for us down here, though.  Having the a/c off this late into April is a luxury...coolest weather I've seen in my 15 years down here.

Oh, and nice point Bob.  See you in a week or so?

Nice blade, Bob. I know what you mean with the stain glass. I think I broke every piece I had.
