    That cover photo is a “hometown honey”. One of those for every 75 trips? (you earned it ) An exceptional petrified and Jasper conglomerate. You know what you got there. You need to make a video 〜 your top 20 cuts. That might keep you busy til spring. 😎

    That petwood HOLY MOLY! I cut a lot of jasper out here in Oregon, they always come out great ..
    My favorite material still has to be petwood!
    Your cutting orientation is spot on also .

      Thanks Michael. I'm excited to cut more petrified wood. I'll never stop being amazed at how it can look so much like live wood. The banding was crazy on that wood. I'm going to email you a close up photo and see if you know what species it is...

    What a great pair, you and Drogon. All the pieces suprised me when cut. They are always more beaitiful than I could imagine. One of the pieces at about 11:34 looked like Drogons face at the top. As always, cut, cut, cut!

    What a great morning show, I even got to hit like first. Great, great pieces. I couldn't believe that first agate was that beautiful and completely fracture free. Nice Stone!! They all were. And that conglomerate was just so fascinating with the different color areas and that demarcation line where it looks like the whole thing fractured, shifted and healed. So cool. And I just noticed how close you are to 10,000 subs. Nicely done Kim.

    Drogon is happy...as am I. So, you're saying that snow, ice and cold isn't the best for hounding? Ha
    Nothing like trying to pull rocks out of frozen ground. Your stereoscope brings a whole new dimension to these rocks. The complexity and finite structure with the coloration... totally blown away. Must go hounding with you some day. Only fished in Montana, need to find rocks. Thanks for doing what you do.

I kept thinking how neat it would be to collaborate with someone who made fine intricate wood carvings or furniture and augmented what was already just too SWEET, with inlays made from some of those gorgeous slabs... or maybe like a decorative window cover made of cast iron with swirly floral flourishes in the corners with one vine crossing all with ready-made spaces to showcase the rock and allow the sun to shine through it.... so wonderful to live my dream life vicariously through your bright eyes and enthusiasm so similar to what I've exclaimed so loudly in my head a few times over the years...🙏😊👍💘🐲💘🍀🏡🛣🌄😻
