Historically, vinyl records were used to back soft, fragile, or fractured stones. The groves worked well with adhesives, and the vinyl was malleable during the sanding process. Since I was slabbing some opalized wood that can fracture when worked, I mounted a number of slabs on a 33 1/3 Vangelis album. I'm calling an example of a fossil record. The cab in the center has been worked, the ones on the black vinyl are dry slabs just off the saw.  |

Most of the opalized wood I work with doesn't need backing and I won't work with the stuff that does.

Vangelis? Damn, I would have taken that off your hands. LOL! But, I guess you put it good use.

There is lots of material that needs to be backed (reinforced?) or consigned to the scrap pile. Acknowledging that every rock deserves to be saved from obscurity, I'll work on any rock that captures my imagination. Adding culture to the adverse side is a plus.
