Got to get out for a few hours yesterday with my son- 50 degrees, overcast and a bit windy but had a great time. I think hounding is still my favorite part of this hobby.  A scenery pic and a unique fairburn that I came across. The other side of the stone has the same red designs on the outside so I'm trying to decide what to do with this one. Tumble or slab- it's not great as just a specimen but I think I can make it into something special... Thanks for looking!    |

Slab it! Those drusies outlined in that dark red are going to be amazing in a cab. Great job on the photography, too.

Ok I had a chance to get in the garage for a bit and slab this one so I thought I'd post a few pics. It wanted to chip off when I tried to cut them thin so they're a bit thick. Started on my favorite one and it still has a ways to go but I'm going to post where it is so far anyway. Thanks for looking!      |

Cool looking little fortifications in that one! Nice job. Thank you! It's still about twice as thick as it's going to be and the shape isn't quite how I want it yet, but it's getting there. I lucked out with this one with no fractures or pitting while I'm grinding. Plus, the patterns seem to go pretty deep. I think it's going to take a great shine! |
