Sweet! Good looking stash of goodies. Those adzes work great. I need to send you a chunk of nasty rhyolite to make one out of, it gets sharp and holds up good.

thank you. =)
yes pap this is definetly a better winter project. Although aside from smoke inhalation and burns the fire does drive away the humidity.
