Cleaned out the slab bucket over the past few days. Been cutting on some new material and alot of it is getting tossed. Some of this stuff barely made it into the house instead of into the driveway. Table 1 ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2637.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2639.jpg) I sliced up a chunk of Angelwing ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2640.jpg) Some intense Chrysacolla ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2641.jpg) More dead cow jasper ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2642.jpg) An Owyhee find from the last trip, good and hard, really nice coloration, but tiny pits throughout most of it. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2643.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2644.jpg) Table 2 ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2645.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2647.jpg) Rocky Butte ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2660.jpg) Owyhee Cherry ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2661.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2662.jpg) ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2663.jpg) I love the colors in this Owyhee Cherry, here is a big chunk of it in the 30" saw, too bad it is so fractured. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2624.jpg) Check out what one slab from the big chunk looks like after cutting, lots of slabettes and tumbling rough. ![](http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z229/catmandewe/100_2626.jpg) Thanks for lookin....................Tony

Hi Tony, how ya doing? I have a bunch of the stuff in photos 1 - 6 & 7 also. I really like it but it is too bad about all the pits in it. Back in the recesses of my pit-iful mind I know there has to be some of that out there without pits. Rocky Butte :drool:

Hi Tony,
What do you suppose causes the Owhee to crack up like that...freeze/thaw or blasting??? That sure is a nice looking piece!!!

Beautiful colors there! At least that cherry will make some great tumbling material! Fran

You do have the best slab buckets - even the broken ones.
