    I have one Richardson thunder egg. I love them. That had to a blast cutting all of them. Fun to see what they are going to look like inside of all of them. I like the star patterns. That's a bunch of awesomeness!

    The one at 4:55 right looks like a lake or glacier, in the background mountains with night sky so nice
