I opened up a bin of material we collected last year throughout Central Oregon and selected a few really small cutters for the WF. Here are the pieces I set aside to possibly cab. Blood red carnelian thunderegg from up near White Fir - I hit a real nice pocket of eggs last year and this is the smallest one. I hope the big ones look similar Tiny egg from Pony Butte Green Moss from Northern Ochoco's Agate from Paulina area

While they may be small, those will make some great cabs. I especially like the last one and the carnelian thunder egg.

HPD: You will have to do what Steve does and make a small cab and polish the original rock, an echosotne as he calls them, they are cute! Nice material there! Love the carnelian!
