Title: Weekend cabs; Montana agate,rhodochrosite, unknown agate
Post by: Gergis on February 28, 2015, 07:21:40 PM

I made sure to take lots of photos of the process this time :-) for the first time i did a small assembly line style with the two agates and rhodochrosite working down each wheel til i was happy (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/28/e551722c55aa9de95ca39acbc55f1f9b.jpg) (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/28/ccb3249607eb2641c3953c37e39f2e9c.jpg) (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/28/5ed2c4845d3960a5e1c070bece05c7a2.jpg) (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/28/6c59b4e08f1a6f21fd094213ac65ce60.jpg) after a little grinding their shapes come together (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/28/fd26702535cc2a81ff1f5177ee3ebf9a.jpg) after some sanding..

Great cabs! Montana moss agates are one of my favorites. We have collected over by Glendive & Savage for several years.
