 Hi everyone,

    Here's a quick in-advance-of-Tucson announcement. I've mentioned,
    off and on, large alabaster bowls, the carving of which constitutes
    my most recent lapidary pursuit. Four of said bowls are en route to
    Tucson, and UPS willing, they may arrive intact. Tom Orme of Alpha
    Supply has kindly given me a few feet of display space to show them
    - that's at the Alpha Supply booth in the Tucson Electric Park Show.
    My Bay of Fundy agates will be (or at least should be) there also,
    hand-carried back from the Munich Show. 

    Also, I've been discussing with Carol Bova of the Eclectic Lapidary
    the possibility of giving one or more one day or weekend lapidary
    seminars at her workshop in Mathews Virginia. That's about an hour
    from Norfolk. We're looking at early to mid March. A one or two
    person over night guesting may be possible. Some of the possible
    topics include: 

    - Building the "Perpetual Prototype" home built all diamond cabbing
    machine 
    - Cutting a cab that's fit to sell (refinements, little details of
    cab cutting) 
    - Introduction to cutting opal. "Do NOT be Afraid..." etc. 
    - Opal Inlay - how to do, how to repair. 
    - A Cornucopia of Concavities (how to get into, shape, polish,
    concavities in a gemstone) 
    - Making your own diamond tools - for concavities as above, and
    other uses 
    - How to make a core drill 
    - Practical projects - intarsia and inlay (a chess board or an an
    inlaid table) 
    - Jewelry making for beginners - first steps in silversmithing 

    Offering any of these depends on the number of persons interested;
    if you think you might be, do drop by the Alpha Supply booth in the
    Electric Park and let's chat about the possibility. And if you're a
    gallery owner, do come look at the bowls. They're in quest of a good
    venue. 

Cheers & hope to see you
