This is the first winter in 15 years that I have not had a machine to move snow. I have plowed about 2 miles of rural access road and individual driveways for the completely ridiculous price of $25 an hour. We just got a foot and change of wet slushy snow and my neighbors have been calling. My tractor is in the arena with several broken motor mount bolts and some related injuries. The result of over work and neglect. My wife has not been able to leave in her car for days and I expect that I will move the repair up on the list of things to do..... I thought we were going to get lucky this winter, but the 4x4 has been our only option for most of a week now. Glad to have a way to move... I hope you all find a way through the drifts.

It looks really good to me. I have many of the same concerns about the stones I cut after several years of cutting. It is OK to give yourself a break. Thanks for sharing the beautiful cabs!

I had not noticed the sloping bottom. Not sure about manufacturer. Maybe Tony could clue us in.

I don't think you will find a better deal. It looks like a Frantom. My Frantom 24" is the workhorse in my shop and if you two can pull it off ......... Just sayin'

Great theme... I have been looking at this little Trent and trying to figure out what to do with it. Not any area that deserved to be cut off so the one and done is perfect! I double tapered the bezel and finished the faces with very low domes. Stone measures 58x28x5mm approx. Lots of drusy and sagenite.

Nice setting and a good looking combo with the stone. First I have heard of Silk Stone...

Take a good look. See the red dot on the upper left side? That 's his eye. Just below that is a dark brown line --- his mouth. Nose above the mouth where you would expect it. We get a side view. Frog is looking toward the left. That is a beautiful rock --- well, after the cooks got to him : ) Now I see the frog... Took a lot of looking cause I was looking at the wrong rock!

Looks like Biggs to me! Very nice. It will make some great cabs if you choose to cut it.

Yeah, I could go with that. Or a one eyed troll. Is it a local?
