I might suggest starting a new thread for this. That would get more attention. Someone may be near by. Glenn is in Alaska.
Shipping is gonna be a consideration if pieces are big.

Dogs are unlimited lines of joyful credit with a payment that comes due all at once.

I have read a number of posts and warnings. I'm not as uptight as some of the people that have been described here. I have 2 saws, but the material I need cut should be gravity fed on a bigger blade. A lot of it is dense. I'll never cut all of it - I have collected about 100 pounds of rough dating back to the mid-seventies. Trading choice cuts for slabs would be ideal. I saw warnings about what can happen when cuts don't go well. I am well-versed in saw & cutting. I once worked in a rock shop and ran the 24" and 16" saws to cut rough for customers. Back then it maybe cost a dollar to cut open a 6 - 8" geode. I have a lot of interesting stuff, and I'm sure someone would enjoy having some of it. I just don't have a big enough saw or the time to slab everything.

The main reason i'm offering the service if for folks that don't have the equipment.. i might as well offer preform service as some people don't have saws to do that as well. I won't offer cabbing service but once I start cabbing people can pm me if its something special.

Yeah, i would only trade cutting service for rough or material if i really like the material, not many people around have a rock saw that is willing to offer service...
