Thanks E! That's cool! Well...we have lava rock and very hard blue rock. I don't think that method will work for us here;-)

As long as you could hold onto your scalp so it wouldn't wind up on some Comanche's lodge pole. 😉

The Comanches (pronounced "Carramanché" per the transliteration of one early Texas surveyor), were late arrivals to the party. They were a miserable tribe living in what is now Colorado until the Spanish arrived to "donate" horses to them for the purposes of mobility enhancement. Otherwise, they'd still be in Colorado.
