Before ralph and I got together and started rocks he did scroll saw work. Some is very beautiful but i don't have pics of it.
After we started going to rock shows, gem and mineral shows I asked him to make up a few 3d wood decorations on rock hounding. The first 2 sold right away but I still have this 3rd one..... its funny because i like the theme of this one the best. We will sell this one too if you know any rock hound that would love it. Pm me if interested.

sorry the pics are so small.....i will have to see if i have the larger ones yet
Heres a larger one

He won a blue ribbon for this one. It measures 2ft. x 3 ft. After he finished this one, he retired from scroll saw work lol

Good grief, Mary Ann! Is that portrait all inlaid wood? Holy cow, that's beautiful! I love the rockhound scene, too. There just aren't that many truly gifted wood artists in the world any more. Ralph is a very talented man.

	No person should ask for more than the moments. They should accept what the rock gods offer and make no demands against the future

kjk: My first try on Fluorite was about 5 years ago. Pre-shaped rough with dremel then used a 3 # rotary start to finish 90-220-500-TXP polish,all with ceramic fill. Nov 6, 2024 22:06:16 GMT -5

kjk: Second attempt with fluorite, 3# rotary for stages 1 thru 3 with 90-220-700 all with ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1000 and ceramic. Stage 4 TV-5 with 1200 and corn cob. Looks Gem quality and ready for final polish. Nov 6, 2024 22:11:20 GMT -5

kjk: looking for suggestions on final polish for Fluorite. Been sitting on these gems for a while because I don't want to bust them up like my first try. Have been leaning towards TV-5 with #61 Rapid Polish, ceramic, 1/2 cup water, TV-5 approx 60v (1/2 speed) Nov 6, 2024 22:21:39 GMT -5
