The Lace isn't "crazy", but it sure is pretty! Gotta love the red line(s) in Mo Lace!

You are welcome, jamesp. Always good to know I can send you just about anything, and you will make it happen! Thanks for posting the pics. What I'm really waiting to see is the petrified palm. I have another junk of it - are you game?

Great job with the crazy lace. I still have a few pounds of that stuff I need to finish off... very inspirational.

I have another junk of it - are you game? That palm has a lot of variety in it. I grabbed two that are still needing coarse grind and ran them in the vibe. Check them out Jean, still got about 4 pounds of them rolling: fingers

They are not pretty, but at least you still have them. Still hoping you get to keep the pinky tip. The palm tumbles are awesome! Hard like glass, vibe should put a good shine on them all. Looking for the other chunk (not junk, dang spell checker) I saw recently to send to you. Gotta keep you busy. Have more of the lace as well...

The nerves got severed on the thumb side of all three, so they will likely be numb on one side. Odd feeling, but they seem functional. The palm is glassy. It is like the coral, it likes to be broken off with the tubes. A1 quality palm and lots of variety within. The first chunk of palm I ever made into tumbles. Takes a shine with the best of them rockpickerforeverCan't wait to see the variety of textures when the rest is done. The rest of it is at week 4 in coarse. Hope to get some time to touch them up on the grinder. Such as removing the fractures on the left side of the one in the 2nd photo.

Was changing a flat when the jack popped out. Huuuuuuuuuuurt. May loose tip on that pinky. Now James, the brake rotor wasn't sitting on your fingers but rather your fingers sitting n the nice sharp edge of the rotor. And it was a wheel that was sitting atop your finger pressing it into/around/against said rotor. Btw, what model BMW was it sitting atop that wheel? The fingers are looking pretty good...take care of them still, they've got a ways to go yet. The partial numbness can be weird. I had my "funnybone" operated on a few years ago (it wasn't funny, either!)...pinky finger and half of the ring finger beside the pinky were/are numb....strange feeling. That crazy lace is, well,....crazy!!!!!! Nice job!!! You might just force me to try the coarse to 500 stretch. Looks like I've got some rocks coming out of polish today, if I can get around to them.

I've had fingers and hands broken and mangled, but not nearly amputated like that! Glad they are healing well and not becoming badly infected The new box of Coral is outstanding Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!
