Peace, Rich

Neat idea, how well do they polish? Peace, Rich I finished one yesterday. I'll be able to get some pictures up tomorrow probably. It polished up very nicely. I did the one in picture #4. Looks pretty sweet cabbed up.

Looks pretty sweet cabbed up. Great.. I cant wait to see how rockjunquie handles the pits and rough spots. Fill, grind, conceal or bring attention to. hmm. Unique challenge and done by a professional. Choice of wrap will be interesting down the road when Tela does that part. We all know she will. Irresistible to a cab junkie. grin. Also another great post by anexpert, Don, jakesrocks handles some of his like this "I use the 330 epoxy with good results. I heat the stones to be treated to 220 degrees in the oven before applying the epoxy. This pre heating serves 2 purposes. #1, it removes any moisture that may be present in any pits and cracks, and #2, it expands pores in the stone and allows the epoxy to penetrate the stone. Don't use this method on heat sensitive stones such as opal. Don
Amazing pattern. Neat material fossilman You going to try your hand at wrapping some of these down the road ?

As for wrapping,I leave that up to my good friend the "Hammer"... He is an excellent wire wrapper!! Thumbs up I will get one wrapped and the other will be just a cab for my collection.. Than start selling them "Raw" as I traded with you...
