I think stained glass is a bit too thin.  But give it a try. Nice job on your knapping.

That was one of the things that peaked my interest Jon. He said they were pretty thick and he needed to learn percussion.

The stained glass I’ve worked has been very thin.  It’s hard to clean the surface up if it’s textured. 
I try to clean it up w/one pass then sharpen it.

Deer hunter,
I'm planning on making it to MoJam again next year!  Hopefully it will be a bit cooler, or at least less humid!  That 109 degree heat index flat kicked my butt!  And I grew up in that area!  That is why I am. In Colorado!  No humidity!
