Man oh man, I am positively JADE with envy!!! You've got your saw runnin' and just look at that material! All of it, I mean all of it I would knock you down and snatch it away for (I mean that in a respectful and reverent tone)! Lucky lucky you, what beautiful slabs you have there! Keep me in mind please if you ever feel like selling some of those slabs, especially the Bacculite

My covington is still on the ground, and it's driving me nuts! I could have been busy this whole weekend, but my husband hasn't finished the table yet...

Super cool Darryl - it's too bad there isn't a way to show the complexity in these rocks without the light...

All right, enough text. We live on photos. I know it, me too! I love looking at all the artistic talent this board represents! My husband is building a sturdy bench for me, so my poor baby is still shiny and on the ground I will photograph her on her new pedestal when he finishes (hopefully this month, hah!). I know it's a girl because she's beautiful AND powerful, what should I call her...

As you pursue this hobby, you'll become more like the old timers and actually pee yourself a little more each time.... Thanks for the giggle!

Whoa, that is some setup and the pictures are beyond words...I really love the detail and how you can see the intricate patterns and the quality of the wood petrification. You could sell a river rock to a blind person with that level of detail!

James - those are spectacular! That coral is so varied and the colors so different, each one is its own treasure!

I about peed myself with joy when I heard the FedEx truck pull up outside of my house - I knew it was my Covington. I have had the RH bug my whole life, and to finally be equipped with the machinery to show what I see, words cannot express the joy I feel.

Oh wow. I am glad that I looked at this thread, this is so amazing! I saw a picture a cab someone had done and was amazed, but to have the directions and pictures is so great! Thanks so much for sharing!

That was really great, thanks for taking the time to cut and post those! If I had a bucket of goodies like that, I would never leave the saw
