I really like the series of cubes that you have been doing lately. Cool use of the material, and I bet they make a neat display all together

That's gonna be a stunner when you give it a nice polish, Fossilman. Love opalized pet wood. |

I'm starting to get into the idea of your cubes fossilman Mike, could stack a whole collection of wonderfully different rocks in a book case or against a wall... interchangeable mosaic by turning them to a different side...
lots of fun and interesting things come to mind... watching with interest.

Really like your idea, snowmom! Would look neat with picture jaspers, too, Fossilman. |

I need to build a jig for these cuts-it would be faster and true measurements on the 1st cut....
