those are gorgeous. Love them all. The wood hounded from the river is spectacular! the color in the carnelians is so cool. I love the graduated drop forms, must have been difficult to do... earrings and a pendant?

The bird is very neat. 1 in a million cab. I have cut thousands of slabs and it is rare to find something like that. When I do my wife ends up with an earring pendant set from it. Hope somebody that really appreciates it gets it................MrP

thank you all. I waited for a year to cut the flying eagle cab from the slab. Things like that are what keep me slabbing.

Wow! Nice pieces. Those agates and, in particular, that pink jasper are really beautiful. I grew up near the Willamette and never found anything quite as nice as what you scored. I think your local stuff is every bit as beautiful as your "nicer" purchased material. Nice work.

All are really nice, but I especially like the one you pulled from the river and just polished. Doesn't get much better than that
