Howdy folks, Man did you ever have a stone you were sorry to give away? This is the mossy jasper or agate I cut to match the belt buckle I made for my buddy. I really really like this cab but have to give it away *sniff sniff*. I think I have another slab of this agate and sure hope it cuts a cab as pretty for my permanent collection. Anyway, here's the picture before it up and leaves me forever *L*.....Mel PS: I sure wish someone would explain to the gulldanged folks making these fittings that 30X 40 does not mean 28 X 38! Had to take two hours to recut the whole damn stone cause the bola mount was too friggin small!  |

Oh Mel, That is beautiful! He is sure going to enjoy that one!
I know what you mean about the findings too! I am always having to check each finding because even though several the same size will be a little off.

Great match to the buckle. I need to move to TX so I can wear rocks like that...

That is super cool Mel. Just tell your bud you wanna "borrow" it sometime LOL!
Maybe instead of 30x40, it's actually American made @ 1 1/8 x 1 1/2!

Great buckle and bola Mel. That cab is awesome.
The finding was probably made in China and the last thing on their minds is precision.

That's really nice, I've been wondering if I could get away with wearing a bolo instead of the regular noose.
