Knapping arrowheads

I just had to add this picture to the blog. I made this arrowhead out of this bottle bottom. Chipping arrowheads out of glass is a lot like shaping a stone, a very hard stone, like obsidian.

Zion National Park stone restoration

I partnered up with Brad Quinn for this job. Shane and Vincent came in from Colorado to  jump into this stone project. A large boulder rolled off the hill and onto the sign shop which was built in the 1930's.. We numbered the stones, took the wall down and then cut out new stones to replace the broken ones. We  put it back together and it looks just like the original wall. The big stone on the bottom row in picture four with the tools setting on top of it  is one of the new stones we cut out. It was a great project and a great place to work.
