May Ann, can you give me some idea of the demensions of that beautiful rock? I ask because I am just learning how to slab on my work force. I seem to have trouble keeping a straight cut. Rollin the rock is a challenge, too! Having some idea of how long, wide, and thick they are will help a lot. Thanks. Zip

those slabs are around 1 1/2" to 2" long and around 1" wide. They really are no that straight of a cut, as its hard to do on the workforce. Just do the best you can, and practice, practice.......... you will do fine. Ralph doesn't like the work force so much because its hard to get a straight cut.
