Did battle with some Tallahata from Jeffutley today. Didn't realize how spoiled I was on that nice TX stuff till tonight :-X. Thing started out about four times this size but I still have most of a box left - more to come and bigger hopefully :).

you guys are makng it tuff for me
i just got my box of this stuff,dont know if i can do the justice you guys have been doing to it
-
Holey Crap! That's a nice Hillsborough, Paul. I'll be glad to get home to my box of Tallahatta.
-
You won that fight! Now show us what you can really do!
You see what I meant about how some of it just will not knapp?
-
man we must have all gotten a box from jeff ;D
we are all just a glutton for punishment arent we >:D
-
Yup we are ;D. Thanks fellers! I don't see why your so head up about gettin home to that tallhata Eddie, that TX stuff you just picked up is a lot easier to work ::). I found out what ya mean Shannon - that white stuff doesn't knap worth a cra&&^p :D.
-
Nope it don't, it's that pretty black salt and pepper looking stuff. :D
-
Cool thats a good one!
I got a box from him too.. i'll be playing with it soon.
-
That's a helluva nice looking Hilly, Paul. Here's the best Hilly I've made from that TQ so far, not as nice as yours, though.

I hope I did you guys good. I did my best with my limited knowledge of putting together rock boxes. The Post Office lady thought I was crazy mailing so much rock ;D Quite honestly, I'm about done playing with it. My hands have 4 DEEP cuts in them and I'm not having much luck! >:( Shannon told me he thought it was good to learn on because if you could get comfortable with this, you could knap any other rock....but I'm frustrated as ever!!!

wwwwwwwwwooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

Don't give up Jeff. Get you some easy working rock and build some confidence. You can do it ;)
-
I beg to differ Steve! Your like the quartzite King ;D. That's another dandy lookin point too. You done good on the box-o-rock Jeff, I might be lookin to trade for some more - maybe try to refine my technique ::). Got a box headed your way, It'll flake a lot better than this stuff.
-
Damn Paul thats a beauty, I've only played with the little pieces, saving the bigger chunks, and yup the whie stuff is
about like trying to flake concrete.
-
Nice job on that hillsman Jeff must have used a loader to get all that rock for us .He's probably laughing to himself(Suckers) I dove into mine like a man posessed only to find out what a different animal this talladega is.I managed a point and I'll post when I get to my camera.Thanks again Jeff

Well Paul after seeing that screamer point you made I picked up another chunk out of the box and all was going well....then that one last flake to make the corner a Little sharper and SNAP
