Some time ago, I had a nice Owyhee slab. The best pattern for the preform had a line going through a buckskin band.
Somewhere when working on it fractured along the line. I've had a little success completing a cab that was similar, but now I'll avoid the area.
I got a Biggs slab from Roy and saw only two good patterns.
I trimmed them both and completed the cab on the right.
I ground the preform and marked the girdle line. I then started on the dome before dopping. Right now, the line is fully healed so I am hoping that I will be able to finish it tomorrow and that it holds together. Not a vug or fracture, crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, etc.
