Interesting material, awesome work! Fordite smell when you polish it?
I know some of this material contains additives to the paint for plastic application that has a unique plastic smell!

That stuff is so cool and you certainly cabbed them to perfection. Amazingly steady hand to get those red dotted centers.
Would have to be a no caffeine day.

Fordite reminds me of an elementary school art project I did once. We layered and glued sheets of various colors of construction paper together until we had a solid stack about an inch thick. Then once they were dried, we used sand paper (I think) to carve (surely they didn't give us a knife) a shape out of the layered and dried block. I think I did a heart. The edges looked like the layers of paint in the fordite.
Could we do the same thing by gluing ultra thin slabs of various stone together? Like a multi level doublet.

That is certainly possible but slabs that thin break really easy. Sure would be neat though. Chuck

That circular rock really shows just how perfect your cabs are. Those circles have almost no waviness to the lines at all. Impressive.
