Welcome back John! That's a sensational bunch of crosses. I really like the biggie in the middle, and the shape of the Tigers Eye is awesome!!

Love those Tiger's Eye crosses. Even with the blurry pictures they are gorgeous. I also love the regular stones crosses. I've seen many but these are so shiny and really special. Great work.

Hi right back at ya Mary Ann! John! Paul! Sound like a folk rock band ;D
Things have been great! Thanks for asking. Peyton will be six in April and almost through kindergarten. Man do they ask a lot of these kids already, especially when you consider that kindergarten was optional when I was 6. LOL I will be 51 in 8 days. Kendal turned 2 in January. She is a doll and has Daddy wrapped like a wired rock. You can see her birthday picture in my avatar. I have very little time for hobbies, but have all the time in the world for Tammy and these two young'uns . We are planning a trip to the diamond mines in Arkansas this Memorial Day. Any takers? I do miss this hobby and all you Wonderful RockHounds. I do check in on you from time to time. John

Thanks for the post & the update, John. Your focus is good, as the rocks can wait but little ones grow up so quickly. Glad you've been able to get in some rock time!

Those look really nice John, especially your newly-designed "puzzle-piece" cross. I bet those angles on the new design take a lot of extra time versus the standard 90-degree ones. I know you like to wrap your crosses, but have you considered drilling the top and putting a little bail in the hole? If not, you should check this out just for kicks: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=trtphoto&action=display&thread=35856I'm sure your crosses will look great either way! Glad to see you back and see that your kids are flourishing. Garry

Hey john! First great to see you again! No way that sweet baby of yours is 2! That just does not seem possible. Love the crosses. I've been outlining a lot of my non-cab slabs with crosses latly. Just got to buzz em off on the saw. Love the new style. Might have to give that a try!

SWEEEET!!! I love your crosses and the new style looks great! Don't be such a stranger John. Time is limited but just pop in and say hi every now and then and give us some children updates as you go until you have a little time for rocks. Take care,
Fran
