One for Poco!
Brother Poco sent me some of them hillbilly rocks, like whut they gots up there in tennersee. well, I tells ya, thems some fine rocks he's growin up there. Don't look like much with the skin on. but it's real purty on the inside.

a few whacks with an antler billet peels it like a tater. the flake on the top right is about to be something... kinda like Crash's driftwood metaphor.. its just screaming "push me"

I'm adding it to my collection of "pride pieces" (not that I put any of them in a case or anything). I have a little space set aside in a cabinet where I keep the nice ones. here's a few recent pieces since my session with Craig. Today's piece dedicated to Poco is on top left.

So I must say THANK YOU POCO!! I, personally, have never had such good quality rock before. I haven't cooked it and it flakes like butter, it thins down really cleanly and holds up really well under my crude handling without breaking in half like the other half dozen I made this week that aren't pictured lol. For this to just be some rocks in the yard, If I had them, they would be like gold. I will share a flake or two with Craig and maybe have him make you something nice to send back your way. Thanks a lot Poco!! Really awesome rocks!!

Excellent work YCC. It is nice to see the things that you all are doing with the flint.

thanks for the compliments. I've still got a lot to learn before they start looking like art pieces, but for a beginner, I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Now, If only I knew where to find some of this stuff around here.
Oh yeah, Craig said he'd drive up there and remove all those worrysome rocks from your yard, if they are giving you any trouble ;) I told him, I'd ride with him and help hehehe.
