Here is the last of the mud-duds for now,
i could more than likely get a few cabs out of these?
But the big picture seems more attractive to me.
What do YOU think!

I agree, slabs. They're wonderful to look at intact.

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."

However, with the work you do they would make fantastic cabs!

The pattern tells a story. I see cabs with these.

If it were my stuff, I'd cab some and leave some intact -- best of both worlds, since you are getting more than one slab out of each. The top left, I'd keep intact for sure. Top right looks good for cabbing. The one with the green orbs, it would depend if there's another similar one. If not, I'd keep it intact too.

Anyway, count me as jealous. Those are some amazing material
