I went nuts on the WF the other day. A 5 hour session. I was practicing on big rocks and circle cuts. I only have about 1/16" left on my kerf. I cut into the rocks I found the last two times hounding. Some of the stuff is pretty wild. A lot Stromatolite/Jasper and Hematite/Jasper with a few bizarre agates and combos. Here's a few shots of what I cut into. A Stromatolite Jasper with an abrupt color change. Another Stromatolite. A couple of long columns of Stromatolite. A big red Stromatolite. Some Agate. Some Jasper. This is a little bit different combination of Hematite/Jasper. I just got a chance to clean this rock today and I decided not to cut it yet...it really cleaned up nice! This piece of Jaspilite is mostly Jasper with a few high grade Hematite inclusions sticking out. Thanks for lookin' Steve
