Title: Fire Agate...
Post by: fossilman on January 24, 2017, 09:07:06 AM

Just started dabbing with "Fire" agate......This material is from Arizona.....I have a couple of friends (Roy and Jack) that throw a few pieces my way,once in awhile-so I can practice on.....I like working it...
These are still in the working mode,but turning out nice!!

Very nice. Do you hand carve these with a flexshaft or use your cabber? What do you use (i.e. diamind burrs, cratex wheels, etc.?)

Nice potential. Take your time and will turn out fine.
