Man I love cold mountain. Bang up job Jason! Thanks Billy!  I do too! And I'm such a glutton for punishment, I'll continue getting it, knowing the "yield" is pretty slim. LOL |

LOL I have one big chunck of rough that I'm itching to get in the saw now! Funny story. I went to buy some rough one day and all of a sudden they were sold out, fast forward and it happened again. Turns out Mr. Larson beat me too them  he really does like Cold Mountain |

LOL I have one big chunck of rough that I'm itching to get in the saw now! Funnecessary story. If you get a chance, and if it's not too much trouble, and if you think about it, and if you want to, and of it's not buried, would you be willing to post a pic of it here? (Too much coffee since 3:30! LOL) I don't get to see many "big" slabs of this material. Most of the slabs I cut have been unstable to the point of becoming sever slabettes out of the original... |

Those are awesome cabs Jason. I'm glad Ali mentioned it... Maybe I can find time to get out in the shop and find the cold mountain

When we dig it out and cut it, I for sure will post it. I do knows it's too big for my saw so it has to go in Nate's |

Probably even tougher to cab that cold mountain 🤣 I'm keeping the blinds closed so I don't even have to look at it...if I can't see it, it ain't there! LOL |

Holy smokes, Jason! They are all beautiful, but I really like that orange one with the blue spots, too. Well done!
Now you need to expand your shape inventory.  |

Some including that quartz vein and some not! Cool! Thanks for posting this! Holy smokes, Jason! They are all beautiful, but I really like that orange one with the blue spots, too. Well done!
Now you need to expand your shape inventory. Thanks Robin! Problem I have with the shapes, I have SO many preforms already cut for this winter, there's a lot of the same shapes for now. I'll definitely start expanding the shapes...but it might be a few more months. I need different templates! LOL |
