Ray <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Raymond, the boulder is solid jade, I just tried to highlight it. Since it was going in a gem show. I wanted to show the contrast between polished Jade and rough Jade, as well as make it smooth and flowing to the touch. Apparently it got rubbed a lot by the people in the show. I live in Mt. Lehman, it is a small rural area in the North West corner of Abbotsford. The Shop with the saw is in South Surrey. and the Jade is from the Polar Mine east of Deas Lake BC. Take care.

RHGraham Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Randal, I'm just here hoping to learn, and from what I see I can't imagine how this won't happen. I'm humbled... I'll try to trade what I can with toolmaking or such things.... great forum, thanks for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHGraham Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Welcome Randall.(is that right?) Yout metalurgical expertise will be most welcome! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Jim... I've admired your work for quite a long time... it's a pleasure to be here and thanks to you and Don and Janel for this forum... I've sworn off any "mettalurgical" knowledge, but I can cook stuff up in the shop ok. I carve bows occasionally, but want to expand what I do with my blade-work, I'm expecting this to be highly illuminating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
