I threw a slab in the slab bucket and it bounced out and broke, must be time to clean it out?? First table full Nancy's "prime rib" that she found up by Graveyard point Jason's chunk that he dug out of the trench at Graveyard point this last weekend My chunk that I dug up at Graveyard point last weekend Not sure what this is, just wanted to look inside Willow Creek some more that I wanted a look inside of Table 2 Pietersite Someone told me this is Biggs, but I am not sure, it came from the Utah estate. The little chunks are a cool see through nodule and a piece of bruneau an Idontknowite, (maybe palm?) and Pigeon blood agate, turned sideways My favorite out of the batch, I don't know what it is, but it is porcelain hard, and already has a shine on it just from the saw and very solid. I found one good sized chunk of it in the new haul from Oregon. I saved the last piece of it to make something cool out of, dunno what yet, but it will come to me.......................... Thanks for lookin.....................Tony

Wow Tony! :drool: Sweet slabs. All are great, but that last one is fabulous! I think it looks like wood of some kind. You can see knot holes in it.

Tony: I think you stumbled on some darn nice deschutes picture jasper, it looks like it!!! That is some pricey stuff! Man those are some big slabs you are cutting! Pietersite, you know I love that, and the Graveyard looks good. I love Willow Creek that is always a fav! Good thing you emptied that bucket!! Amber

WOW Tony, you cut some fabulous slabs! Not sure which of the Willow Creek, the Pietersite or the Biggs are my favorites but anyway all of them are gorgeous.

Wow Tony, I can see a bowl made of that last one. Everyone would think it was made of wood. Can't imagine how it would be done though. The Graveyard and the Willowcreek are very cool, but the Pietersite had me at hello. Jo

Too bad people don't still smoke more, because that would make a sweet ashtray!

That last picture you have a picasso style of woman to the left. It looks to me like you really had a great load of slabs there! I think I like your grave yard point and the willow creek the best but it is sure hard to pick between them all! Fran
