I keep looking and once and a while I snag a decent piece. The freeform is jellybean.

From Charles Tiblow? Cigar smoker with a southern sounding accent. He introduced me to the Tahoma and the spring agate from the area, and made the "frog skin" cabs from the thin seam.

“You preachers of equality, the tyrannomania of impotence clamors thus out of you for equality: your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche

Thanks, agates. There's a seller on facebook that has Tahoma and frogskin that I have bought from with inconsistent results. Tahoma should be cut against the seam and when cut with the seam the pattern changes when ground. When the seam is thick some great cabs can be made. With the thinner material, one side is faced and the other is rough which needs to have the matrix removed.

My eye is better than my hands and I need to see great pictures or examine in person.
