I was about to write "This looks like a type of Picture Jasper"...but then I googled it first...and found out it IS a picture jasper! LOL

I've got some picture jasper preforms cut and waiting in the wings...when the time comes, I hope I can get a shine on mine like you did on yours! Gorgeous!!!

Beautiful cab! I love Bruneau even though it's so dang hard.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

-- C.S. Lewis

Don’t worry too much about that part. All the Oregon stuff I’ve worked with shines up like dream. “Harder than the Gates of Hell,” as our shop steward used to say.

It’s getting all the scratches out that can be a headache.
