Title: AR. Rock run
Post by: leapingbare on May 25, 2010, 12:16:48 pm

I went to the Magnet cove Novaculite quarry last weekend and loaded up. Mr Parker , the man who runs the opp is a heck of a guy, him and the guys he has working for him blasted out a few tons of rock. I spent 2 days spalling and cleaning up spalls i ended up with about 600lbs of some killer rock.
 Here is my kiln finished and rdy to cook rock, This kiln was a challenge for me and I'm very proud of it.

  Nice haul, Jesse. That Novaculite is some sweet stuff. Sounds like my relatives live there, too, Wade.
