Jamie,
Here's a couple of slabs I've cut. I just haven't had enough to be cutting and grinding like I'd like to. But this stuff is gorgeous, unbelievable and very unpredictable. Never know what lays hidden inside. The piece is cut is INCREDIBLE!!! That is jaw-dropping too Unreal!!!

Hopefully during Christmas I may get a few more cut.
Steve

June, be careful and wear eye protection. pet wood fractures when being cut more than some rocks, and your saw has an open type of design.

I also found this wood to be pretty hard, so don't push too fast on your new blade.

Do you plan to cut most pieces in half and polish the faces? Or were you going to try and move the clamps a bit and cut slabs?

Have fun!

I haven't cut any more, I am iin the middle of making a grinder as I got tired of wearing out dremel bits, and once slabbed I will think what the heck just do it (I know me pretty well). Funny thing though, when I go to the garage to smoke, I sometimes pick out the next rock to be cut and put it on top of the saw, a hour ago I realized that 3/4 of the box has been put on there. So next time out I will put them all back and start over. The ordered parts should be here this week and I can go back to cutting.

I always wear safety glasses when i do anything that I might get hurt at. since I have to wear them at work, I'm generally pretty used to them.

I couldn't take it anymore. My SC wheel isn't here yet, but I went ahead slabbed some. I messed up the best one, almost showed but then you all would expect to see something made from it, so will just put in my bucket of shame.

Do you need another piece? I love what you have in the photos, that looks wonderful.

Oh no, I messed up the slab, I got it too thin where the pattern I liked was. I just layed out 30 or so patterns in them. So as soon as the roads out west clear up I am hoping for the wheel delivery, I have everything ready for it.
