I got a very interesting slab of Deschutes (bottom right). I laid out two preforms on the slab intending two cut the bottom right of the slab (shown) and then see what was left. With the first cut the one laid out upper left diintegrated and the blade wasn't even in the same universe.
The Ocean Jasper (upper left) fractured without warning as soon as it was ground with a previous preform of the same material. The Willow Creek is hacked up so the top becomes the bottom.
The Morgan Hill was a really tight fit for the pattern and shape I Chose. The replacement Butterfly Wing hasn't shown in USPS tracking so I thought I should make some more. The slab was a little over 12mm so I hand split it and did a pretty good job 5.5/6.5 even and not hacked up.
