Back at Christmas, Randy (Biker Randy) sent me a gift box of slabs and one of the slabs in the box was a piece of Tiger Iron. Having never worked with material that has flash I was a little gun shy. So in my stock pile the Tiger Iron sat. However today was the day that I decided to pull the trigger on the Tiger Iron. If you don't mind the mess I must say that Tiger Iron is a lot of fun to work with. Especially if you are lucky enough to have a piece with as much flas in it as the piece that Randy gave me. Thanks again Randy, and thank you all for looking.

Nice one Stu. Thanks for reminding me. I have a 5 lb chunk out in the garage that needs slabbing.

Those slabs Randy has are super nice. I love the stuff, but boy, is it messy! My youngest grandson fell in love with the last one I did and I gave it to him before I took pictures. He's at that age that everything sparkly is gold- he was real impressed with this tiger iron, too. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Yes it is messy but as a boy I always liked playing in the mud LOL Still have the other half of the slab to play with. I think I will attempt to do my first wrap with this cab. I will try to do one of Randy's Dude wraps. After all it was he who turned me on to the great material. Stu

You did justice to that beautiful material. Looks like having fire in it. Perfect shape and shine.
