Title: Texas rock.
Post by: Tower on May 05, 2011, 05:00:09 pm

This rock was picked up at the Colorado river TX. It was one of those that had pretty color but was as hard as concrete.I managed to get a preform out of it raw. Placed it in my pit with some spalls & put a little fire on it. Its amazing how a little heat can change everything. I love workingTexas rock.

Check the river bottoms,creeks, & draws. Even tough stone can be changed with heat. Sometimes.
