After finally finishing my tumble batch Thursday, I got some cutting done on Saturday since it was kind of nice out and got above 40 for awhile. I went out and cut some preforms out of some slabs that I had planned on cutting for quite awhile. Some of the woods red and green jaspers a few others Last weeks and this weeks cuts some I have been working on next to the new batch Running low on the old stuff I am waiting on a new grinder wheel so I can get these shaped. The one I have is taking forever and the diamonds are almost gone on it so after a few attempts, I gave up...for the moment. I am going to be busy for a very long time Fran

Did you say a Few Pre-Forms??? That's a couple more than a few! ;D Looks like that should keep you busy for quite a long time. Steve

Ya, I think I tend to go a little crazy at each stage. Then I have so many to choose from, it is hard to decide what to do first...ah the dilemma of it all. I think I can handle it though ;D Fran

I was looking at the first pic and glad to see close ups cause there are many in this bunch where you have really really great scenes and patterns. Looking forward to the pics when they are finished.

Curt, yep, you do see some ghost wood. Finally got brave enough to cut some and so far, I haven't messed it up. Deeptime, you are too funny! I would be afraid to see how many folks would show up with me having my little swap top to work on. Fran
