Wild bunch of slabs Tony!. Really some nice looking Graveyard Plume and that Pink and green jasper is pretty unusual. Think I like the banded cuts the best...Mel

Man Tony! You have been busy, busy, busy. Do you cut the entire rock into slabs and do you have heels left over?? I always end up with heels and never have the patience to slice a rock continuously. I should start doing it though. Steve

You know Tony,
That last willow creek has a sleeping woman in it, Kind of Picasso style. Closed eye, mid l. side, Nose and mouth,and on the r. side the wispy hair and you can even see the neck and shoulder. cool! I really like the pink and green Jasper cut either way. It is so strange how that makes such a difference in the appearance. You have some really nice slabs there! Frna
