Willow Creek I call scrambled eggs mountain which is 10.5 mm thick.

Blue Tide. One fractured so I ground away most of the bottom and made a flat top. The other had the bottom fracture when grinding so I made a new bottom.

Lace, Willow Creek (the vug didn't go away and I need to dome the other side), Blue Dream, Horse Canyon Moss.

I haven't mastered the slab saw and some slabs are too thick. No point trying to split it. I have a new aggressive 80 grit wheel and didn't mind putting a big dome on it. The cab weighs over 19 grams.

It gives me room to get the dome as perfect as I want, or just give the cab a bubbly well-rounded look
