Latest Cab Project
« on: June 09, 2020, 08:19:45 AM »
The following pieces are made using a flat lap and a vibe tumbler. The rocks are from Louisiana, Texas, Mexico, and New Mexico. The blue cabs are unknown. 50 years ago I looked through 3500 lbs of petrified wood and found and bought only 350 lbs of wood that had color and was not dark. The last few pictures are of this wood and highlight the type of tree and color variability.

Great selection of stones and cuts. Don't know what the blue stuff is either, but it is beautiful. Nice to see.
