What a Day!!! It all started out when I started slicing some Moss Agate that Snowdog sent me a while back. I had my big saw running and I told myslef that I would quit cutting other stuff when my big saw was through. Well....it took longer than expected. That's gotta to be some of the hardest rock I've ever cut!!! ;D So...my hour or so cutting session turned out to be a little longer. I didn't mind though. I busted through a ton of material. I cut all sorts of stuff too....Lagunas, Dryheads, Botswanas, Pet Wood, Carnelian, OJ, Geodes, Poppy, Brazilians.... Here's the group shot Bots (love the orange one!) Lagunas Dryheads Brazilians (the one kind of reminds me a little of RSJ) Beautiful YELLOW crystals inside one of the Brazilians Oregon material (poppy, petwood, and red jasper) the hardest rock i've ever cut, Moss Agate. Thanks Snowdog wherever you may be. I can't wait to do a few cabs from this Graveyard Plume ( i think) MY FAVS OF THE DAY!!! Ocean Jasper! I got this from Stephen clear back when I first joined the RTH. Finally decided to slice it up and I can't wait to do an OJ cab!!! the other greenish stuff is some kind of picture jasper from Oregon Sorry for dial-up users. Steve

You definitely had some fun doing all of that. I think I like the OJ and the moss agate best.

The green moss certainly was worth the wait! That is a really nice piece. Woody

Thanks guys and gals! Tweet...what I thought was gonna turn out to be an hour or so cutting session; turned out to be an all day event. That is an all day ordeal of cutting! KD...the Moss Agate is what I was waiting for to be cut with my 16" saw. I was gonna quit after it sliced thru, but it was seriously giving my saw a workout. Tony....I agree! I am due for a rockhounding trip. I'm just not so sure my bank account agrees. Steve
