woodman, awesome beyond words. This guy has been to and survived an axe fight. Do you have dimensions for this baby? Cheers, johnw

6" by 5 1/2" x 4" . In looking at it, I do need to clean it. I have had it for a number of years and never had the heart to cut it up.

woodman, a fine piece of Carnelian like what you have deserves to be tumbled to bring out all of its hidden virtues. You then have a piece of history and can add to the narrative of how it survives an axe fight. (lol)

Cheers, johnw

If you cannot explain something in simple terms, you do not know enough about it.

y'mean something like this?

This is Diamond Pacific's 65T. The barrel in the picture is holding a "Big Crazy" at 5 pounds plus, and over 110 pounds of Bahia's, Mookaite and Lace nodules. Had to use a ramp to get it on the machine. The plan is for me to work my way up to a 40 pound piece of lace at 14" give or take in diameter. You can check out the progress on my Big Rock Tumble thread. (lol)

Cheers, johnw

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
