haven't made any stones in over 5 years, but started again after some inspiration. here is the first batch, they aren't as shiny as i had hoped but still turned out okay.

You got a lot done! I love the little ones and this one. That one and the one under it remind me of New Zealand mussels. I can't remember the correct name, but they look a lot alike. I like the pastels.

dandresow: Thanks. Haven't done anything with rocks for years. Just fixed an older HP 18 inch and dug out a 10 inch and 18in Lortone and I have a couple of trim saws and need to make something to cab with. We stay broke and I only have enough to put oil in 1 Dec 1, 2024 16:49:20 GMT -5 *
