I opened my front door this morning and found a large FRB sitting on my porch. I knew at some point I was going to be receiving a FRB (not large or even medium) of some obsidian from a wonderful RTHer. I am in hog heaven and will be drooling for the next 3 lifetimes over this box. As I go through it, I will take pictures, and the rest of very UN spoiled people will have to drool at a distance. As Always!!! Dam it's good to be home (here on RTH). I have never forgotten how wonderful Rockers are!!!!

I have been spending the entire evening going through this box and OMG!!!!!
There is the most awesome slag/glass ... but the big time major bulk is obsidian that is making my heart sing! I feel like I could over dose on obsidian. I'll die in heaven!!!!!
I have sorted through it all mostly and still have some bins to rinse out and go look through.
I did come across the most perfect almost finished cab in Mahogany. This little thing was buried and is perfect!!!
Hmmmmm ..... (wanders off and thinking I may go rinse some more).
Thank you my sweets!!!!

One picture is worth a thousand word. Right now the only one drooling around here is my dog watching me eat my breakfast. LOL Stu

I just love this stuff!!!
I am wondering though how long it would take to get a full batch of this in the vibe. I may shape a good number of the pieces and leave some of the pieces as they are with smoothed edges.
Let's see ...
1-2 days 120/220 (maybe just solid 24 hours) 2-3 days pre polish 2-3 days final polish
What do you all think?
