Actual, Cowboy, all but one are made from tented glass :-\ I have been having a hard time finding material :( The glass gives me good practice :) I am hoping to find more of the Burlington near the middle of the month. I love the way it works. Thenks for looking everyone.

Fooled me, thought i was seeing some white specks in there. Absolutely nothing wrong with working glass, get all you can. Tinted looks just like obsidian..

I love trying to get really even scaring going acrose the entire face. TRYING.... I am having a blast with the glass. I just need to learn how to turn a rock into a flat biface.

I cut my teeth on glass. Still like to use it, but prefer flint. Knap-on!
