You'r right, they do look a lot different slabbed. Can't wait to see mine out of polish to compare them to your slabs . it'll be interesting.

banjo i was puttin my slabs in kitty litter and lettin them dryup in that but then you have to wash them anyway ,, so now i just put a bucket of dish soap and water next to the saw and drop them in that and it starts cleaning the oil off wile the rest are cuttin and then they get a scrub with a sponge and dish soap in the sink under runnin water and they come out good

It sure works for taking grease out of clothing and I use it when I want to do a good cleaning on my barrels. It's a really good product. Cher

Interesting rock Kim , thanks for the pics . Firts time I see that rock ...Yummy haha

I too have a bucket with dishwashing soap next to my saw in which the slices disappear pretty quick.

They still are a bit oily afterwards so I may have to look for a better soap like Cher mentioned .
