I haven't done any trimming for a while. First picture: 4 preforms of Dead Ringer from altamont, Dead Camel (I think) from Paul and Owyhee from Tony.
Second picture: Using an ice cream analogy there are 31 flavors for MHPJ. The material hookedonrocks has is what appears on the best thing I ever ate show. I have a customer who likes a particular flavor that I get from a seller on ebay. He has switched from selling by the piece to by the pound. I messaged and he found a 4oz and a 14oz piece. I glued the pieces to boards and other than the facing cuts and kerf, lost nothing to the slab saw. The larger piece has 6+ preforms and the smaller piece a freeform and a pair of earrings. I should be able make some cabs that the customer is looking for. For me, finding the right material is one of the most important parts of the hobby.
