Are you going to be able to do anything with it? Was it hard to cut? I've got some more like that, never imagined it would have that much variety inside, lots of red too. How's it look wet? Thanks Sands, Cher

Sands, that looks great as a backdrop rock. Maybe if you have some of that acrylic spray that makes it look like a wet shine. LOL oK, you need to spray some water on it and let us see it wet. *smile*

PS ... thanks for posting the second pic. I'm sorry it was so hard on your saw, I think it would have made some awesome cabs.

I'd take some soap to it and clean the oil off then get some of clear acrylic finish and spray it to give it that "wet" look. Get a nice satin or low gloss spray, most any craft store carries it or just a clear satin finish paint from the hardware store. Just a though, I think it would look nicer and would appear darker then. The satin finish would show off your cabs without causing a glare too.

Sands, I'll get a money order in the mail to you Monday.

I know I want you to drill a hole in the middle of the"sky" on the Storm'sa commin' one. The Budstone I need to think about and decide what I want to do with it. Got an idea and think the Budstone would be a neat stone to use for it.
