My brain hurts....lol......

Are you sure it's not better to have a whole new category called "Carving" and have the 2 forums within it being Opal carving and an everything else carving?
Or do you like it like this?

We could have a section devoted to both carving and cutting for all gem species, and just let the opals fall where they may, so to speak :lol: , but since we 'specialize' in opals, and feature them in their own section, it seems more logical to keep opal carvings and cutting in that section, and leave the rest in gemstones IMHO. Anyone else have any other thoughts on how to set up the cutting and carving categories? :?:

Quite a few of those headings would have been helpful in deciding where to put a lot of the threads I transferred from the Gemstone Advisory Panel section, so not a bad idea, gingie. ;)
