Wow, what a gorgeous puppy. However, as a fellow owner of an Aussie... I feel sorry for you!

It was a few less than 30, I think. He showed pictures of all the slabs before he sent them, and I was able to swap out some of the ones I didn't like. So, sort of hand picked. And definitely at the lower range of what you guessed.

Never heard of them... but you make them sound good!

I got a MFR box of these slabs... some of the best material I've seen. Thank you, and highly recommended to anybody who is on the fence!
(Thinking about getting a LFR box of it...)

Hi All, Does anybody know of any sources for belt buckle templates? I'd prefer aluminum, but at this point would take anything I can get. I found a place that has templates you can print out on paper ( www.acebuckles.com/template/default.aspx), but those aren't very helpful. If I don't find anything else, I'll use them, but I'm hoping somebody has a source. Thanks! Jeff

Thanks everyone! As requested, I took a couple of pictures of the back side of it... forgive the poor picture quality, but hopefully it communicates what I did well enough. Mike - It's epoxied to the buckle finding itself. The epoxy is extremely strong, so I think the stone would break before the bond broke. I got the finding at therockshed.com, in their jewelry findings section.

Hi Guys... I just finished my first belt buckle today... I'd finished the cab back in January, but just now mounted it to the buckle and new belt. I'm not sure what the stone is, but I sure think it's pretty!

Labradorite is one of my favorite stones... and this is probably one of my favorite pieces of Labradorite that I've seen... gorgeous!
The wire wrapping is phenomenal, too.

Wow, glad everything worked out okay. I guess that's another great reason not to walk away from your slab saw when it's cutting.
