cut some slabs today and then marked out shapes on a few of them. Got about 8 of the red & yellow, and about 4 of the tan & blue, 3 of the Cherry Creek. Cut 5 of the green striped, but have a lot of this rough. Some pits and some is more soft, but I like the green stripes. Enjoy

At some point. I have a backlog of over 200 marked up slabs. I hope to do a lot of trimming and grinding this winter. These are waiting to be trimmed, and there is another one of trimmed pieces waiting to be domed and polished

I can't tell you how many containers like this I have sitting around the shop. I probably have 300 or 400 preforms cut out, most of which will never be made into cabs. There just isn't enough time to get all that I want done. Some great looking cabs you have waiting to be cut.

Great future cabs, I especially like the ones in the plastic tray.

Looks like my containers! Then, it takes so long to get the preforms cut out and then do something with them. That will keep you busy for quite a while! Fran

Sounds like i should do a preform cutting service ;D That would work for some things where I enjoy designing the cab more than preforming it. But, lots of times things change at the saw. Pieces fracture, or you suddenly see that 2nd cab in the scrap. I am not sure I could surrender so much control and hands-on pleasure.

I know how you feel! Hey, Daniel those pieces of dino bone look lonely & dejected. They are just begging for some attention. Why don't you grab a couple, cut them & go to work on them! Make them shine & smile for ya!
