A storm is coming in tomorrow and it was warmer today, so I trimmed 7 Loma Prieta Poppy and a Kentucky agate. I dopped these:  |

There's a lot of splendid orbs in those. I hope they all hold up in the process.

I did a little work on the Kentucky. It needs some work on the shape and scratches but it is done fracturing.  Another preform from the same slab fractured so I ground it to a freeform. It is also done fracturing but I need to pick a side before dopping. I picked the face on the right when I started but now I'm not so sure. Opinions?  |

I would go with the left because the large white area on the right one might be too soft. That's my honest opinion.

I dopped the left. The slab is not thin so grinding will move the pattern and the left has more interesting stuff. Thanks.

Not too shabby. I like the inside curve cab. Gonna use that design. Now you need to create an after it rains preforms thread.

The good news is that is warm enough to grind the preforms.   |
