Hey Woody - It looks like your saw blade is working great now. Nice batch of slabs. Kathy has probably already started "converting" them to cabs! You sure got some choice slabs of carnelian! Garry

Yes Kathy has picked out the 'choice' slabs, and is already cabbing them. I posted two she had not polished yet (in the dog house for that) from the nice carnelian. Kathy has the better eye for design, and shape so it works pretty good with me finding material and slabbing it. I can not get to the cabbing machine in the evening anyway. Kathy will post shots of the cabbed carnelian finished. Woody

Woody: ;D I am so glad you got that camera working! Now you are torturing me with those great pics :drool: :drool: The Mt. St. Helens is just beautiful, I gotta make another cab of that, and the Stony Creek, all those pieces are so different. Lots of yellow out there, you guys have great stuff!!! So Kathy does the cabbing and you do the hounding, that is a good set-up!!!! Amber

Amber: Rock hounding Stoney Creek is amazing, in great variety of material to be found. Most of it is jasper, but some is a mix of jasper, and agate. Then the colours, and combinations are are so varietal that you just want to pick up everything. Onr nice thing is a lot of material that is rough on the outside, is good on the inside. The only bad thing about our visit was the short time we spent there...next time will not be so brief. Woody

Sweet set of slabs. I bet these will make some really nice cabs. I really like the 5 cent slab. I might have talked them up to 10 cents for that one.
