Hey Yall.
Thought I would give you a look at Walker Ranch Biscuits. I have never been there but I lucked into these.
A couple of rough ones first.
And the front and backs of 3 cabs.
I try to keep as much as I can. It takes a while to work on them. Put it down. Come back look. Put it down. Pick it up 6 mos. later. Grind. Stop. putit down. come back... till I figure um out. They have the what I call gravel crystals in the centers and well just about anywhere but they all have it. It will fall apart there are vugs. It doesent shine like the rest of the biscuit. They are a trip. But worth every step. These all finished out over 1 1/2" cabs.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo
You are killing me. I want all you have. I love Texas biscuits. LOL
For real Rick I would love to get some more of these. I bought 7#s of them 3 years ago from a guy that collected them in the 1960s and am just now figuring them out. It was a slow process as I couldent afford to goof any up. They are hard to come by.
I know of people that have payed lots of money and spent lots of time to go to SW Texas for these and came back with a realisation of where they had been. These come from a place where everything either Bites, Sticks, or is Poison lol.
I screwed up the first 3 I put my saw into. And as hard as they are to get. I can see why they are rare.
UM Rick ..... Where ya keep them? Does the panther like tuna? lol Jim
Try checking around. There are O None Nada You can't find them for sale. The pecentages of finding a real blinger is so high ... Well I have to put a $40 diamond blade in the saw and know I'm gonna trash it. Just shaving and slicing roughin out and shaping the cab rough shapes.
Its not like normal cabbing at all. Anyone with a wheel cabber would cost too much to play this game. And they consume a lot of time. The round one in the middle. I spent over a year cutting. Ain't grippin. But its a differnt game than cabbin a slab.

Yeah Jim, thanks for the before and after shots. Great job!
Talk about hidden treasures!
I've had some of those, too, but didn't know what to do with them.
Slab'em or just start grinding?
I'll have to start putting them together.

Well as an agate freak... I have to say that I now want some... but I want to collect it myself.

These come from a place where everything either Bites, Sticks, or is Poison lol.

Sounds great to me!

If I hadn't just purchased a new vehicle... I'd say April would be a great time to go.

Hmmmm.... I bet I could convince Hawkewind to join me

Gaetama50-

Make sure you stay safe out there in Afghanistan! No rockhounding out in that desert.

Once you get back I'd be happy to accompany you to any stateside desert you want.
