The First Blue Mountain had a bad back so I flipped it and it was ugly and had some matrix, so I flipped again and made a flat top. The back is kind of rounded. Best I could do without a lap. A lot of grinding for a flat top. The first WC fractured on the nose just above the girdle line so I needed to take it easy. The second WC was from a heel and I tried to thin it with the trim saw, whoops. I had to take it down to a thin flat top.

Blue Mountain, OJ, Willow Creek

Great cabs, but that second OJ is outstanding!

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

I made some cabs from the same material over 10 years ago and my wife won't let me sell them or even cut a new cab from one of the original slabs. I bought an auction item on ebay for some OJ and saw a small piece of the old stock gemmy OJ.

This is one of the untouchable cabs.

Yep. Old stock OJ is hard to come by now-a-days.
