I got the extreme pleasure of cutting a large chunk of Willow Creek for someone else today. I took a few shots. Loaded up and ready to go First chunk cut off, lots of great colors, but kind of fractured and pitty a little closer shot I thought as we got into it farther it would get better, but it actually got worse. Too bad, it had great potential. Still was fun though!! Tony

Tony: That really does have some nice colour, too bad about the fractures and pits though. Woody

Those fractures look like they're deliniating the perfect cab size pieces.

Colors sure are pretty. While it wouldn't make a good specimen, I can see many cabs coming out of that nodule.

That's a shame. Almost enough to make a grown man cry

Man that saw is huge!! I can't stop looking at it!! Now this was bummer, waiting to see the inside of that huge Willow Creek, and then fractures. It does have pretty colors.

Fractures or not, it is really a pretty color and I would be going in between for some smaller cabs. It is too bad it got worse as you moved farther in but it is still a beauty and I love that big saw! Fran

Awesome color in that piece, too bad it was all fractured. Would still make good tumbling stock..
