Post by: iowabow on July 05, 2011, 02:53:36 pm

I liked this rock with the stripes and hoped I would get a point from it so here it is.

that's my favorite that Ive seen you do....I like how you work at the same design...may seem boring but your results show that you are learning exponentially.

Thanks everyone for the nice words.  After making a few of these I like the concave base and curved sides that straighten and just start to curve back near the base.  I think I am starting to understand the notching thing much better.

Very nice point. Yep, your notching is good. The one piece of advice I could give on notching is if the platform isn't right don't try until it is.
