Are you looking to have one cut? you might try asking around the local rock clubs. Someone there will know if there are any. Its a big area should be some there.
If you want one cut I would do it for you, shipping big rocks can get kind of expensive

i just have a huge rock here that would be killer for a sphere.
if someone clse to Kent wa is a member here (im not shipping a boulder) and wants to cut something different.
it will be worth it.

MMMM BIG rocks :drool:  I like big rocks!!  Too bad I am so far away

I just cut a honey oynx  it was all I could do to get it into the 24' saw, than I couldn't cut all the way thru and had to roll the heavy thing over and cut from the other side.
I ended up with a 7" cube, a 5" cube and a 4" cube.

Dennis Borden, Maplewood club up north from you.  He is the sphere man.  Not sure if he is on here yet and if he is, I don't know his screen name but I have known him for years in person.  :icon_scratch:
