Wow, very nice John. Hard to pick a fav, but I have to go with the Stone canyon and the Starburst. Is the last one Tiffany stone? Whatever it is, it's got some cool patterns on it.
Oh yea, it's about time you got off your butt and cut some cabs!!

Ooooooooo nice stuff John ... I'm with Ed, 'bout time you got some stuff done. I'll be expecting (hoping) to see more soon too. What is the one in the third pic down with the really bright yellow, that's really neat. They are all beautiful, I don't know if I could pic a favorite or not but the yellow one really stands out. Thanks for posting them John, now get off the puter and go do some more. ;D Pretty please ;D

just not close enough to get the job done.

Sands, those are fabulous - how come your porcelain jasper cabs look like raspberry white chocolate??? I got some of that stuff but mine are mostly gray and not much color in the slabs that I got!
The blue mountain stuff is beautiful

How on earth do you get your bevels so darn even? They look perfect!
