Had a good morning on the saw, until I got hungry and went home for lunch. I may cut again this afternoon, as it's warm and sunny and I finally got my blade aligned properly again.
Thunder eggs:
I slabbed half of one for tabletop material and found a little dendrite!
local jasper:
Petrified wood:
Too fractured to be worth much more cutting, so it'll be a desk rock.
The goal is a coaster. I have a big block of this material from the same hill as the petrified wood, oddly enough, and am experimenting.
The red and orange is solid but the green and yellow on the edges is softer and has some pits.
Some proper cab preforms!
Dodging cracks that only show up once the slabs are dry, of course.
And table progress.
Five more pieces! Two corners done and one replacement piece. I'm hoping the thunder egg matrix will hold together for center bits. It's pretty brittle.
Bonus lizard:
