Did you buy a chunk and have to slab it also or was it already a slab? I’ve always liked Turritella. It’s a fun material.

Of course most are new materials for me! I've finally got a couple of nice cabs out of it. The first few I did broke up during the grinding process. Your cab looks good!

I have an old rock saw but we haven’t gotten it running yet. Bought it years ago and still need to refurbish it.
