    Great rock Katie, Jim’s laugh is a crack up. Thank heavens you said, hello rockers, for a fraction of a second I thought you were going to say hello fockers,
    I think that would have left Jim on the floor. I can see that rock on a “ lazy Susan” somewhere on display so you can turn it and always fund something new. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

    Oh Kate how those words echoed in my memory banks: "Oh, yeah.... this is coming home with me". But the best part about not being able to collect any longer: it does not take three days for my back to recover. Fantastic slabs... looking forward to seeing those polished. I have a number of "logs" that big and a little bigger, including three Arizona rainbow wood logs. I do the same as you in leveling off the bottom. If the top is fairly even, I take a MK Wet Electric Polisher and use the steel grinding wheel to smooth it out and then spend the hours with the velcro pads. And yes, it is a great idea to glue some felt to the bottom.
