I'm running out of stuff to work on. The seller I got my shaky Nipomo from included a big chunk of some moss agate. I gnawed off a piece with my trim saw and old blade. Lesser grade Ocean and Nipomo and a nice dryhead. The dryhead eye in the center will move right and framed accordingly.

second picture: Bruneau with a pattern that goes all the way through and some unusual patterned Howardite that will likely fracture. I'm not expecting to be able to finish these without some disasters.

That Howardite is amazing as well. Can't wait to see what you do with them!

4 out of 6 completed is what I am expecting. The OJ and the Howardite shield are full of vugs that may run into the girdles. The Howardite free form seems to be very solid and may make a really special cab. The tan material is swimming in agate.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
