I was referencing volcanic glass obsidian in my post, should've made that clear. 

I do recall seeing them knapped into rough football shapes at the end of clubs in the past.

aside from being highly problematic and costly to produce......would make for an interesting and exotic experiment!

Cheesy

Then I'm sure you can appreciate what a good, close up slow mo movie clip of an obsidian football impacting a cement wall at high speed, would look like..... Smiley

I have never seen these river made obsidian 'marbles' before, care to post a pic?!

About airplanes
dude.... if they catch you just say it's a belt or some traditional necklace or something (if it's braided),
If not, be creative!

I am kinda happy with these when I find them just the way they are. All of my forges get up to 3000 degrees glass often forms from sand thst has gotten in with the fuel. as for the napping I have A lot of buddy's who do quite a bit of napping. I have asked a couple to make me some obsidian gland's. none has got aroung to it yet.

ill show you an addict. everyday this summer after working construction me and another worker would sling rocks into woods behind the work shop. one day we were slinging and cops showed up and we hid our slings in our pants, we talked our way out of the ordeal bot about a month later we got a call from the local police department telling us that we were faceing up to 6 months in jail and a 1000 dollar fine for crimeinal damaging becaus we were videotaped in the act. with our luck the day we were videotaped nothing was added to the thousands of dollars of damage done to the parking lot full of cars 160 yards over the woods, so we just got off with a 350 dollar fine and a slap on the ass.

Woah, lucky you! I feel bad about the last time I hit something other than a target with my sling. I was walking home[from school] with some friends and just casually lobbed a rock about 80 yards over some houses. I heard a loud thump, kind of like a water splash mixed with a knock on a hollow piece of wood. A few minutes later, I heard an ambulance screech on over to a house a few houses over on that row of houses[she sells sea shells bye the sea shore.... Wink]. Me and a few friends were still hanging out a few dozen feet from where I lobbed the rock, and needless to say, we high tailed it out of there. I didn't get caught, but I still feel sorry for the poor person in their backyard.

Yeah,  I get it. 

Man,  I WAS born in the wrong millenia.

Or continent at least.....

Sometimes I wonder if I have a Single Passion that isn't deemed rebellious by the purveyors of....

'Human Freedom' these days.

Don't worry; after that I have been much more careful. And thankfully, that was the only time I know of where I actually damaged someone/something with my sling.
