I've got so much Bisbee Turq scratch that I was thinking of molding it into something....

Robin,
I crushed and seperated it and mixed it with resin and molded a slab. Then cut it just like a cab.

Todd,
I don't care for it either, but it is kinda rare. It comes in thin (1/16") layers on the host rock. Only way you can do anything with it.

Ron,
it was fun and a challenge.

Ken

I still like it. Nice job Ken. Nate

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
