Wow Sands, that willowcreek Jasper is awesome, I haven't seen anything like it . I AM impressed and your work keeps on improving. WTG Things here are a bit nippy at the moment with the temp outside struggling to get over 40 degrees....which in turn is hard on the fingers when washing stones outside BRRRRRRR  And it is almost lunchtime . The hills are well covered in snow and we had enough around the house too. The last bits are struggling to melt from falls 3 days ago. But my rocks will keep on tumbling Jack |

i love the willowcreek jasper, sands, just incredible stuff.
i cut into some of the autumn jasper i got from Redwoodrocks today, just a joyful experience. i had to whack it, as it was to big for my saw, but i made a few cuts to get the cold chisel in and hopefully didn't waste too much.
i love the stuff you are doing, love the freeform, if that guy selling that tumbled rock is any indication, you may be able to sell a tidy bit of stuff....
good luck! i'll be watchinggggggggggggggg,
KD

Hmmm !!!!!!!!
Just had a look at that socalled designer cab....is that person trying to pull the rockdust over our eyes?
Make sure to wear your safety goggles so you won't be fooled . They are pretty stones , But I have seen many that are better from our members and my own.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention Sands.

Sands,
I've never seen anything like your bud stone or like the willow creek. They are both completely stunning! And your cabs out of them are outstanding!
You make me want to buy more rocks..........and I already have more rocks than I know what to do with!!!
