What actually designates a "fairburn" besides locality?

Excellent job Roger. You've opened the door to a whole new way of bringing out the beauty of the stone. And you're right, it's a lot of fun. That's a great start too. Hang on to this cab and in 6 months, take it out and compare it to what you will be cutting at that point. The cabs only get better from here on out.
