I polished the Bloodstone/Fancy Jasper, the small Honey Onyx cab, and the oddly shaped bit of orange Crazy Lace. Most of the other slabs are thanks to swaps with Snuffy. The project started life as one of those rickety dorm-type wine racks. A stone topper and some paint, and now it's something that a grown-up could use. Only problem is, we no longer collect wine, so I had to photograph it with some of those bottles of WSOP energy drinks. I might give this as a Christmas gift to a friend who is in a wine club that gets a couple bottles of wine each month. It really looks good in my dining room though so I'm not sure yet.

You can see how it started, as the metal and brown wood part is the original wine rack. The top is just a piece of plywood with the recess put in it: Another view of the finished piece:

It's really easy. It just takes a little time.

Cool, thanks! I wanna do a table. I've done a crapload of ceramic tile, the hard part will be matching the shapes I suppose. I've more slabs than I'll ever be able to cab in this lifetime. This is a great idea, I love it!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
