    Default JNat Disneyland

    i just got back Thursday from Sonoma, visiting Alex Gilmore, and the Disneyland of jnats. Here;s some eye candy for the jnat folks, courtesy of Alex. These are not my stones except as noted. If you want to go to jnat heaven, this is the place! I was looking for a larger stone, but the smaller ones were talking to me. I brought 3 Gold Dollars to test and compare stones and tomo with, and gave Alex one of them, his first Gold Dollar he said. I finished it for him on one of the stones that I bought, and he liked the shave very much.

    Here are 5 suita, the habutae (rice cake color named after the kimono silk) is a beautiful stone. The stone on the right is a huge sunashi suita. The other images are a big Nakayama iromono.

    Wow, beautiful stones-what a collection! I don't want my wife to complain about my humble little rock collection ever again!

    Wow - that's awesome! I have a wonderful stone and a full set of nagura from Alex. He is very knowledgeable and very patient with my barrage of questions! Great guy!

    stone 2105 is such a monster, maybe one day it will be tempting enough if it is still there.
