Hi to all you rockers,

I am basically a tumbler, but have the minimal equipment to do some cabs as well as some jewelry, mostly for my wife, sister and family.  My favorite subject to work with is petrified wood.  Currently I am into making wine stoppers out of the rocks I tumble.  I like them in their natural shape.

Because we live in Montana and Arizona, my lapidary equipment is all in AZ as I have too many other hobbies and interests while spending the summer months in MT. 

I am the first to admit that I will learn more from you folks than you will from me, but that will not prevent me from commenting or driving ya nuts with my questions.  I'm glad to be here and learn as much as I can.  "grizman"

Welcome to the forum, grizman, from Northern Arizona!

Welcome from Las Vegas.  We love questions here and for anything rock related you will almost always find someone here who has an answer for you.  Besides, I was always taught that there is no such thing as a stupid question, although I have tested this theory extensively and believe I have asked at least one or two along that way.
 

Looking forward to seeing some of your work.

Welcome, I assume the stones have corks attached?  Better to cut in Arizona in the winters!, I hate the stiff fingers from the wet grinder in the cold.

Great places,  from a rock perspective,  to split your time.  If you end up with too many Montana agates or AZ pet wood I'm sure you will find plenty of help here.  I struggle with Montana agate cabbing because I never think mine are as "artistic" as so many of the fantastic ones I've seen posted.   Hopefully you'll post some for us.
