I had so many slabs drawn on with areas I really wanted to cut out so Starting Saturday and continuing Sunday, I got all of them cut out. Now sure how many but easily 100 I suspect. BC Flower Jasper and Rolling Hills dolomite, raspberry aventurine, agate of some sort Flourite, Kimbabay Jasper and fossil limestone two squares are Cady, Indonesian Purple agate and I think that is rooster tail Cathedral agate and Marcasite in quartz On the right, silver lace onyx and spirit stone Obsidian I cut from a box of Woody's stuff. Rainbow that you can't see in this picture and some cut with the stripes. Green and yellow moss and Brazilians Kaleidoscope Jasper The center row is material that Randy gave me and the two on the bottom are from the same slab. Llanolite Chicken trax on top, left center is amethyst sage Halloween cab, two from polkadot that are good for halloween and the clear two with inclusions were from an egg...I will have to include the name as soon as I remember. (LOS CHOYOS WRITTEN ON THE SLAB RIND) Oops, left off a picture. When it was all collected up Lots of fun but my hands sure ache today! Fran

Rookie question, I know, but what kind of saw do you use to cut these?

Holy crap Fran how long were you at the saw? Can't wait to see all of them cabbed, especially the marcasite.

I love the DON'T TOUCH signs, so appropriate if we were looking in person. Nice work. Kevin

Hi all, sorry for taking so long to get back. The saw is a Ryobi 7 inch wet tile saw. The table moves into the overhead blade so it has the no fingers sign on it. The purple and cream preform is Mookite. Looks like a good solid piece so it should turn out nice. I keep staring at these preforms but haven't cabbed any yet. If this migraine lets up, I may get out there and do a couple. Thanks everyone! Fran
