Apologies for photo quality. That's another step in the learning process. These slabs are coming off my "new" homemade saw. Metamorphic from Manzano Mts Precambrian Petrified Wood (w/ some fractures) Quarter sawn petrified wood. Couldn't help but see a butterfly. Pedernal Chert (some fractures are healed) Another one with lots of green. Daniel told me to start the new blade with obsidian. Agate Can you tell I'm having fun? thanks for looking. Tom

Nice first batch of slabs. The saw looks like its cutting straight, and the slabs don't have visual saw marks. Keep it well fed.
