Very cool! A lot of it looks like it should come from Australia to me. Not sure why, that's just what comes to mind when I look at it.

Wild looking material! I've heard of it before but never seen it for sale in the rough at any shows. Is there a dealer who sells that material?....Mel

Mel,I get this from the Smithville rockshop.She has a good supply of it.But the problem is the cobbles are mostly too large for my 18 in saw.Cant tell what they look like on the inside until they are cut either,no windows.I get the smallest I can.10-20 lbers add up!$$$ I take slabs of this material and sell them there.Tradin'$$$ snuffy

Great stuff Snuffy. I've never seen anything like it but that's not saying much. The fact that Mel hasn't seen it says a lot.
I like the slabs in the last photo the best. The yellow stripes on the brown background is very cool.
Great looking cab John

I like it, cheerful colorful, very cool cab! Does pop! I thing it should be name "mango salsa". Thanks for showing the cab, as a newbie its good to see the slab rough n the cab. They can be very different sometimes.

I can get a few tons from one of my suppliers, but never thought there was much interest in it.

Your cab is stunning! Yes, saw the horse, and a big yellow bird a few photos below. The colors in those slabs are great.

Dang horse ran so fast he caught on fire! Nice little yellow bird too under it. I may have to go see Lorene before long in Smithville. It`s been awhile since I`ve been there.
