I know it's NOT what you wanted to do. However, it's a "better now than later" kind of scenario. I would have done the same thing...maybe shed a slight tear though having done it once it was over!  That being said...I can see the logic in brotherbill 's thinking. I haven't done any stabilizing yet...but I will get into it at some point. I have some material set to the side that I won't work yet because I know I'll eventually stabilize it. I will agree with people who say you should disclose it as being stabilized if putting it up for sale... EDIT - That material is freaking gorgeous too! Yeah. Suser gorgeous, some of my favorite stuff that I've had my hands on. I think I'll still get some decent cabs, fingers crossed! That slabette on the right in your last pic...the section on the left of that piece should make a KILLER looking cab! |

That slab would get smacked on the bench before I picked up a Sharpie, Mike. Any cracks that survive get inked first . . . AVOID. Good luck, hope this one doesn’t spoil the homecoming. : ) That’s the way I learned to do it. Best to get the heartbreak (or rip off the bandaid) early. With Stone Canyon and MHPJ, I rarely draw anything. I smack or drop the slab, and the pieces become preforms for freeforms. If it actually stays intact, then I draw (maybe). |

Back to the drawing board. Literally.
Oh well, better now than later...
No drawing board needed. The rock is already telling you what to do. |

Hope you can still work some of this rock, it's awfully pretty. Inspiration is a strange thing. Seeing the successes and failures here in the forums often sparks me to try something.
