Me too. Thanks, lizzie.
Hey, I see someone in Chapel Hill posted a heavy duty tile saw in the Free section on Craigslist today. Looks like it's got your name on it. Smiley

Thanks y'all! Glad you're liking the stuff. Smiley
As with most rock, it seems to be getting harder to work rather than easier.
But enough with singin' the blues, here's two more book ends I just finished up to add to the pic collection.

First one is the classic banded green,

And the second one is Classic Chatham County Lime.
Don't know which side is the front so I started with one and went counter clockwise around each side
and then the last pic is the middle landscape.  Smiley
