*VINTAGE MYSTERY GLASS*

WE HAVE A PIECE OF PROPERTY SOUTH OF ATLANTA THAT WE ARE FARMING TREE ON.WHEN WE CLEARED THE TREES TO REPLANT I WAS COMBING THE GROUNDS AROUND A OLD CIVIL WAR HOUSE AND FOUND THIS GREEN GLASS. I TOOK IT HOME AND IT SAT ON MY BENCH FOR A MONTH. ONE DAY I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT THE COE,SO I DID A COE TEST WITH BORO AND WITH SOFT.THE SOFT GLASS WAS A LOWER COE THAN THE GLASS SO I TRIED THE BORO. TO MY AMAZEMENT IT WAS PRETTY DAMN CLOSE TO 33. SO I TOOK A PIECE AND BALLED IT UP AND PULLED IT OUT AND WOW IT WORKED A LOT LIKE BORO.I MADE SOME MANDREL BEADS THAT I STASHED AWAY AND THESE CHOP STICK TO SHOW YOU GUYS.I HAVE TWO PIECES LEFT THAT I AM GOING TO SAVE FOR A COOL PROJECT I HAVE IN MIND.THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL....IM GOING BACK FOR MORE GLASS.-JOHN W.
