Beautiful! I love that multi-colored semi-rectangular one on the left. What did you say it is? It sure would look nice in a Banjowrap! and is the one to the right of the quarter Mook? Susan

Sands-
Holy Moly good man, those are nuttin but gorgeous. I just love that "spiderweb" stuff. (I think that's what you called it) OK, the azurite/opallllly looking one is downright spectacular too. Wiping up drool now as we speak.
Good job partner.

Sands I feel your pain- I had to take the cab off the tractor this weekend and fro some reason it slipped and I caught the entire weight of it with my back- Well then I mowed the lawn (after having my wife help me put on the mower) I can hardly move this AM. I am going home today and layion on ice towels!
