Pretty rock
« on: December 31, 2009, 11:14:37 pm »
I got some pretty, new rock the other day and made this Dovetail and the "Milk Cow" pine tree from it.  I think they're both heat treated Flint Ridge. That pine tree was kinda tough. The flakes seemed to be pretty unpredictable. ???  The other little one was from a small flake of Georgetown.   I love that stuff ;D

Sweet looking points. There is something about "new rock" that sounds funny.  ;D

Nice chippin. Beautiful rock. I am always inspired by the workmanship I see on here.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Shannon, I am really looking forward to watching you chip a rock or two at the classic. Your flake pattern is amazing.

Shannon, as always beautiful work.
all three are incredible.some day i will be at your level.
i really like those first two,the third one looks like it would tear the hell out of what ever it hit.
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

Lessons ::)..........I should be getting lessons from you!
  I start my notches with pressure, but finish them by punching with a horseshoe nail. 
I want to send you a picture of that big rock. Where do I send it?
