That lump of steak is amazing, I have seen a few nice pieces of pottery in the Past but nothing even comes close to those, john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I used to play a 12 string guitar in church. But, alas, I was a lousy guitarist - and a worse Christian. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, Don't worry I am Gods work in progress, As if he does not have enough to do, and no doubt I have caused him a few Grey hairs over the years, I am a slow learner, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than detecting, I`m into barra fishing, Astronomy and RC thermal gliding. Thanks everyone but to be clear, only the ceramics are mine the jade carving is not my work, the jade is done by friends of mine in China. Buy luck and chance I know a bunch of different jade carvers over in China and the work they do is amazing. This one carver in a city called Nian, works mostly in clear quartz crystal of all different shapes and sizes. A mine in Brazil saves him these 5 ton flawless clear crystals, I saw at least a dozen being worked on and another dozen waiting for design inspiration sitting in different rooms, his studio was two stories tall and had about 50 rooms. In the rooms with the large clear crystals where the carvers were working, each large crystal had 6 or so carvers working all at the same time with small powered diamond tipped tools and the large carvings taking 5 years each to cut and polish... now thats patience. I also like to fish and have a little 21 foot Grady White with a walk around cabin that I usually launch in Santa Cruz or Moss Landing, sometimes I also fish San Francisco Bay and also go out the gate. We should put together a little fishing trip while the weather is good, two weeks ago we hit some nice big Vermilions about an hour up the coast from santa cruz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
