Agate From Oregon?
« on: June 02, 2016, 06:35:40 AM »

I'm not sure of the exact location where this material came from but I suspect somewhere in Oregon. I finished it last night. It is 2-1/4" tall.

Nice going Bobby 1. I love the shape, the finish is great and the use of the pattern couldn't be better!

I struggled with the color in the photo. It actually is snow white, not yellow.

Try a different background color.  Maybe black? There are photo experts on the forum  that can help.
It still looks real good

Very nice. I agree, I'd try a black background. Might make the white "pop"
