Title: glass blade
Post by: Outbackbob48 on October 11, 2019, 04:16:59 pm

A friend of mine gave me this big chunk of green glass at a knappin, I got a nice 7 1/2" leaf blade out of it, Came out at a 5 to 1 in thickness. Thin enough for me. It had kinda a waffle pattern on one side and slight dome on the other, got all the factory marks removed and thinned down to a little less than a 1/2" thick and alittle over 2 1/2" wide. That's enough glass for awhile, Thanks for lookin and feel free to comment. Bob

That's a nice one Bob. Pretty neat to see your fingers showing through the blade

That worked out good, Bob. It's fun to pick up a piece of glass once in a while.
