Title: went better this time
Post by: Josh B on August 22, 2014, 03:33:16 pm

This is out of some slag glass that straightarrow gave me a while back.  Works just like obsidian of course.  I'm starting to feel it a little better now.  Hopefully I can get five more done this weekend.   Preferably with a little better symetry than this one.   Josh

Symetry is on! That one looks good from here. Are you making a hunting set for this year?

Thanks fellas!  Yah knapper, the plan is to make a set for hunting this yr.  However, right after this one I snapped 3 in a row.  >:(  Lucky for me I don't start hunting until it cools off in mid to late October.  I might get em done and mounted by then.  Josh

Very nice Josh. I'm glad somebody (not me) could make something out of that stuff. Gave some to hickory bill this weekend. I'm assuming it was some tricky stuff to work with?
