Title: Security Risk
Post by: mullet on March 25, 2012, 05:50:00 pm

I now have top Secret Clearance and can post pictures again. here are four I've finished since the end of January. The Obsidian is the longest at 6" and the blue, synthetic Opal is the shortest at 5" with the other two falling in between. When The wife wakes up I'll dig in her jewerly box and dig out the one I made for her birthday.

Thanks, guys. Derik, that's not Coral bur Flint Ridge. It's the first time I had a chance to try it. I sat next to Bonepile and I'd say, "i'm quiting while I'm ahead", and he'd say, "naw, hit it some more, you can get it thinner" ::) Well, I did. :)

Here's the wife's necklace, also that Opal. Craig Ratzik was selling the material.

Very nice! I like how you attached the point to the necklace .  Ive been hafting them to a short piece of shaft to make necklaces and it looks pretty cheesy.  Josh

Thanks, Josh and everybody else. I didn't haft the point. I paid a Jewelry store to do it and then choked  :o when I got the bill. But they did do a good job.

Bubby and Paul, I think it's fibre optic. It sure does knap real good. I have three more pieces to play with.

     Spiffy!  Dang, boy, thems, sum niceuns!  I made a couple of blades, and points. out of the ground preforms, I Bought at the knapp in.  They came out fairly decent, actually, I couldn't get a flake to run far enough, to keep the original size, but it is close.  I am going to make a couple of knives out of them.  Those look pretty cool.  I am going out to Montana sometime in June, and I want to go over to Oregon, to visit with Emory Coons, and get some more obsidian.  Have fun at the Classic.  It is about time you made something nice for Cathy! ;)
