RIP Jeff Graham

[Lady_Disdain]

Jeff Graham passed away Saturday night.

While his was not a common name in our forum, he was a huge presence in the lapidary world. Not only was he a very creative cutter, developing many interesting and unusual cuts, but he was also very enthusiastic about sharing knowledge.

I completely agree Lady about his great contributions.

Jeff has invented many different cutting designs and many are very unique and edgy that are still being copied and cut today. I bow my head in rememberence.

How sad.
One thing good about being an artist is you leave a little of yourself behind in your work.
