Title: my first big blade
Post by: bubby on April 21, 2015, 08:11:55 pm
this is some Carrera glass tile I got from hickorybill, after seeing cowboys big blade it inspired me to give one a try, all pressure 12 5/8" long and man was I happy when I got it finished and still had one point, the white point is some of the same stuff and I like knapping this material, thanks for looking(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/Mobile%20Uploads/20150421_114444_zps2hehsh7i.jpg) (http://s623.photobucket.com/user/bubncheryl/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150421_114444_zps2hehsh7i.jpg.html)

Never made one that big before, I think it would make one pretty tense as you get close to the end.
