Nice ones, the Botswana agate is really interesting with the dot inclusions on the top. neatly laid out!
The fordite makes me dizzy,
friend's daughter will be pleased with the coprolite and bone...that's so cool that he is having you do that for her!

Nice ones again. Maybe I will quit hating Tommy for his great cabs and wraps and start hating you Chuvk?  Hmm.... could hate them both.... |

I have to say this was the extra inspiration I needed today to slap together a home groove cutter. test run worked fantastic! try one on a keeper cab tomorrow. I have two left thumbs with bands holding wires together then shaping on the stone without scratching something or marking the crap out of the wire. There was one thing I noticed, the groove on the stone for the wire using half round and flipping it over into the groove fit snugger and held tighter. Have you tried this before. I see you use square wire for most? Thanks for posting these pretties! and the tips. |

Orrum: the equal opportunity hater. reminds me of a good Dale Earnhardt quote. He said this to Jeff Gordon about getting boo's at the race track "At least they’re making noise. It’s when they stop making noise that you know something’s wrong." Chuck |

Chuck, I always said that about my kids. If I couldn't hear them, they were up to no good.

I love a great cab and or wrap. Just consider me the king of flat spots, scratches and kinked wire. My problem is I don't practice consistently.
OK I hate me for not applying myself!!! LOL
