These are some more exceptional pudding stone slabs. Finding ones this nice is super rare and I dont have anymore this nice that fit my saw left to cut so I really need to get hunting next summer. These 11 slabs were too nice to cut into cabs so they got the 2-part epoxy and tomorrow will get cork on the bottoms. I may keep four of them as coasters for my own house. I cut slabs from the other half of this rock a couple weeks ago and epoxied them and everyone sold right away. thanks for looking, Chuck

Those are exceptional Chuck. Do you ever find that fine red jasper loose or in larger pieces?

Great idea, I love them. Do you epoxy both sides?
Thanks

Tom - I only coat the one side and since it pours on and runs over the sides it forms big drips on the underside. I use a razor blade to trim off the drips then cut self stick cork sheets to put on the bottoms. There's a picture above that shows the cork bottom.
