The last one looks like Polychrome Jasper to me. Glad you like the Crazy Lace!  |

Why do you store the slabs in kitty litter ?
I saw someone else mention the same thing, so now I'm really curious,
and figure I'm missing something.

I do it to soak up the saw oil. |

I pop the fresh cut slabs in there to help soak up excess oil so they're a little easier to clean. Unless I'm going to use the slab right away, they just accumulate there until I have some time to wash them. |

Makes sense agatewhisperer, thank you for explaining. In my saw I use a water soluble cutting fluid, so different. Patty |

Some very nice slabs! Like you, it would be hard to deceide how to cut them. My favorite is the dark brown about mid-way in your pictures. Where did you get that?

Great looking slabs Alex! As stated...those last ones are definitely Polychrome Jasper.  |
