I was a little bit under inspired in January and the results are kind of "blah..." in my opinion but still happy to have squeezed out a few new cabs for February on Etsy. Extra large (45mm x40mm) old collection Deschutes blue. Exotica/Sci-Fi jasper Sicat plume agate from the N.Cadys Wingate Chapenite GYP Blue/green moss agate Sheep Bridge purple sagenite - my favorite cab of the whole bunch. Really beautiful in person. Feather Ridge Feather Ridge - experiment that turned out pretty nice in person Linda Marie - floating plumes Linda Marie - floating plumes another Wingate 4th of July Butte - natural edges Unknown black and white onyx - ID? yet another Wingate Chapenite - looks gorgeous in person Small ring-size mexican sagenite smallish Biggs

Dang it, Tommy, there goes my diet, lol! Beauties, all of them!
Didja cut the the cobble from Potholes I gave you at Q yet? Wondering if it really was wood, and if it was even half as good as the wrapped cab in the Tommy Lay Original you gifted to me.

Not yet but it is positioned first up when I get a new blade on the 10" push-thru saw. I actually bought a new MK blade for it then put it in the 10" auto-feed instead and moving the auto-feed blade to the push-thru and now a short time later it's officially toast. I've resorted to pulling out the 7" cheap-o tile saw to trim slabs haha.

Single most expensive slab I've ever bought - but it's a big'en and I should be able to get a few more high quality cabs out of it.

Thanks braders and no worries at all on the box. I can relate on the job - it is severely limiting my ability to cut rocks and that just ain't right haha.
