You have to be careful with sharpie. It can bleed and run on your cab. It can also sink into porous cabs. I almost always use a pencil.
Justin - those are some stellar cabs, newbie or not and your wrapping looks really great, too. Onward and upward!
That’s pretty awesome to hear coming from you, I’ve been reading the forum for awhile (thanks to Michigan Rocks of YouTube for leading me here) so a compliment from The Godfather of RTH feels pretty incredible. Thank you to EVERYONE. I’ve gotten phenomenal congratulations and great advice from so many knowledgeable people already; and to that point, Jason, I see what you mean now about grinding on the side of the blade. I’m going to give it a shot on my next cab. I, however, did not get to try it out on my contest entry, I was afraid because of how small the pieces were going to be.
Lots of brecciated jasp-agate at Lavic all right. I've hunted there many times. To me it looks atypical for Lavic, more like Franciscan Formation breccia. If I had to guess, I'd say Parkfield, Creston, Stoney Creek, or Squires ranch for your examples. Also all California sites.
I’d love to go hunt there one day myself. Now, much like with Ashley’s comment about Mica, I have to go research everything you just said.
I actually bought that slab because my wife said she was sick of looking at bumblebee jasper! To keep her from giving me that look of disappointment the next time a package arrived I panic ordered a slab that I thought she would like. Turned out that an oval stone cab from that slab was the first piece someone bought from me
Awesome work
Really digging the last one in the middle, instant eye catcher.
Thank you! It was originally going to be about 30% smaller but I noticed the bottom point was translucent so I had to (semi) freeform it to keep that in there.
