Title: Flakes and Leftovers
Post by: PeteDavis on May 24, 2009, 09:55:02 pm

I am getting a backlog of material I don't want to look at....flakes, broken slabs, funky spalls. Gonna try to reduce these oddities...and make some "practical" points. I'll post them here....please disregard my lack of technique...these are for "gittin'".
