Flakes and Leftovers
« on: May 24, 2009, 09:55:02 pm »
I am getting a backlog of material I don't want to look at....flakes, broken slabs, funky spalls. Gonna try to reduce these oddities...and make some "practical" points. I'll post them here....please disregard my lack of technique...these are for "gittin'".

My first attemp to flute....a 2  1/16" novac clovis...I did it! Practice for next month:











Happy Memorial Day, Y'all!

I got a pile of leftovers. I need to do the same as you did. Thanks for the inspiration.
