Here are some more cabs from December. I've moved my latest batch to the sanding phase and should have some done by the end of the weekend. Oregon Sunset - This stuff is from Richardson's ranch in Madras, OR. I think the ledge is mostly dug out. I haven't been up to it yet. I never seem to make it out of the thunderegg beds when I go there. Deschutes Picture Jasper - This is a different variety of this material. I've heard it referred to as "opalized." I guess the jasper could have a higher water content. It is definitely softer and does not take as good of a polish as the porcelain type. And one Pink Priday... Hope you enjoy, Dan

Really nice cabs. I love seeing material that not very common. You have some Beauts there as usual. Steve

You definitely work with A+++ material. That Deschutes is unreal. I never made it out of the t-egg beds when I went there either.

Miller`s ranch has Biggs that looks like your ? Deschutes Picture Jasper.
Miller`s ranch is one of the later dig`s in the canyon for Bigg`s Jasper. Sold in hundred Lb. Lot`s. Tell the mid 90s.
Though you would wait hour`s for him to come in from Portland to open the gate.

WOW: Hard to pick any fav with these!! Again, quality material with awesome cabbing skills! That oregon sunset material is pretty, but that Deschutes is awesome. I think I like the opal on this, it may not be as shiny but I think it looks almost 3-D. That Priday is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Amber

Fantastic cabs there Dan. First two look like a photo from Mars, third one looks like a sunset I saw several years ago while in CA. Thanks for show
