Dremmel do an engraver , there are a few out there for 20 quidish, as for polishing the edges 240 grit will suffice for a pressy

Good idea.
Everytime i throw away my off-cuts I think "surely someone would love to have these for something". Mosaic arty folk maybe.

I've got some marble in the garage that I'm going to make into some kitchen chopping boards. Xmas presents for the Mum, MIL etc.
was supposed to do them last year..... maybe I'll do them for next Christmas, maybe.

If you have off cuts of any coloured marbles and you don't have the time/tools/inclination to turn them into something then if you just cut them into rods roughly 10mm - 20mm width. These would be useful to the mosaic craft people. If they have the tools (hammer and hardie) then they can cut the stuff down. Not that many people with those tools though.

The colours which would go would be reds (Rojo Alicante and the like) greens, (Lighter better than too much Verde G.) yellows and black. Obviously there are lots of cream colours out but the modern mosaic lot do seem to like use the whites too.

If you do have off cuts and want to shift them as they are then message me.

I'm teaching a micro mosaic course for someone so I'm cutting an oval in black marble about 30mm x 15mm then routing out a 4mm recess, that'll be fun!
