Hey folks! Stumbled upon a killer deal this morning and wanted to share my progress going through it ;D

The big wood I picked up at a yard sale yesterday, just haven't unloaded yet.

some misc

a tray for Edmo

8" wheels and assorted blades

sample slabs from various bags

This was the first three crates and misc boxes.. still 5 more crates to go

My head is swimming here

I'll add a part two and give some info on this deal after I take a peek through the remainder.

Thanks for looking!!! ;D

I Wanna Rock!!!

Man that guy collected nothing but prime material! One seldom stumbles on a treasure trove like that one. I even see a slab of strawberry jasper so he must have collected up by Hornitos too. Was there a label on the red slabs in the pic following the jade hunks? Really curious about that one and would like to see a closeup shot. Haven't seen anything like that before...Mel

I also am interested in the lacy red ones in the pic right after the jade. Is that rosetta stone? Pattern doesn't look quite right, but . . .

Congrats, you must be flying right about now!
