Three obsidain ones in there, another multi-colored 'gargbage glass' point, and one glass blade that slipped out of my hand. Bummer, pretty glass...

Thanks mate.

Naw, most of the obsidian I use is from raw stone, However the mahogany one here is from a sawn slab. The glass is obviously just like working a slab of coarse though... I tend to only do the slab thing when I buy premade slabs or when I have a really nice looking piece of rock that is somewhat small...

Wow, that art glass looks awesome. You should make a set of arrows with rainbow cresting and parrot feathers for a kid's bow!  ;D

10-4 that is some wild lookin glass - never seen anything like that before. Bought some of that fiber optic glass early on (cool lookin stuff). Kinda like just regular old rocks now :).
