I bought a parcel of Tahoma rough. Most of it is too thin to slab across the seam. Cutting with the seam, requires thick bands of material otherwise the slabs are not nice. I picked the pieces with the most promise and glued them to boards on Sunday. Today, I found out what is there.  |

I started with the biggest piece. My plan was to remove as little material as possible, so only faced the highest part.  Next largest piece.  Next.  Last piece. On the other pieces I tried to make a precise cut. I had no clear information, so went for the middle.  I applied my fracture detecting algorithm.  and ended up with this:  The rest of the work will be done with the trim saw and that is another day. |

This only step 1. Step 2 is trimming and step 3 is the preforms. I know this isn't Sutter's Mill, but there is more here to be discovered.
Jason, given a large slab with a lot of visible fractures, I like to slam the slab into my worktable. No decision making about partially healed and invisible fractures. Slabs don't fracture in a straight line.
