Good thing about floods is the wash outs. I hit a couple road ditches today and found a good bucket of burlington.Got it home and knocked off a good spall. This came out of it. Wore my arse out being fresh from the earth! Gonna heat the rest of it... Not the best, and my notches stalled, but it'll do.(Don't look at that lil hingy thingy there) ;D

Man those are nice!  I'm guessing that Hixton is tough stuff. You should be proud of that one.  But I really like the looks of the two on the right. Them's plum purdy ;D
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Y'all are making some nice stuff. Timo, I really like that Hixton point. I've got a similar one from that same red-tip Hixton material that Scott Doblar from MN gave me-one of my favorite OPP's.

I have been having a tuff time lately, hobbling around on crutches.  I badly twisted my left ankle in March; ruptured ligaments, spiral fracture of the fibula(small leg bone), had surgery, put a screw thru the ankle.   I usually work off my left leg, so haven't done much knapping.   The leg is feeling better, but ankle still little swollen.     Anyway knapped a couple points this weekend.  Here is my entry.  It is Glass Buttes Obsidian, about 2 1/2 inch x 1 inch, 132 grains in weight, and sharp.
