The $10 Owyhee rock was a lot better than the $100 ocean jasper.  |

I love when you post pics of the preforms and then the finished cabs. Ocean jasper sure isn't cheap. They look great! TFS

I glued what was remaining on the Owyhee and a BMJ heel to boards. The Owyhee slabbing went great, the BMJ came unglued with no damage to the saw. I completed the cut on the trim saw and then made some preforms splitting the 1/2 inch slab. I made preforms with the Owyhee. Top left was a heel scrap too nice to toss.  |

I've got 4 dopped. I worked on the hacked up Blue Mountain, grinding it down until the divots were gone. I'm almost there. I will fine tune the shape and finish it tomorrow.  |
