Well my second finished one. Boy those curves are a pain. I got this agate at the stone shop in Cape May. My rocks

I was to anxious and they were not showing any shining when I tested them after the pre-polish. So back to square one. This time I will leave them in longer for the medium grit.

I generally get my cabs wrapped then hand them off to Elizabeth for the curls and swirls part LOL. Lee

I look back at the first ones I made now, and it is a bit embarassing. You will not have my level of embarassment! Susan

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)
