Thanks, yeah, the concrete was a little rough.  That's why the point is so small.   :)

Have you/do you plan to heat treat that stuff any?

Man, you are good, I'd like to try that, but I'm afraid of getting cut.

Scott, all the pieces you see are heat treated.   :)

Knapper, lots more to come.

Paul, I'm sending you these plus some heat treated spalls.  I think you'll find the heat treated stuff "interesting".  It's a bit like some heat treated quartz I got from James Parker at the classic:  kind of crumbly when hitting the platforms but the flakes travel well.

Well thank ya Mr Patrick :). Hmm, doesn't look like the heat really slicked em up all that much? Will have to experiment a little.
