No idea where the mock jade Buddha is. FWIW......British Columbia jade is nephrite and true jade is jadeite. B.C. jade lacks all the qualities that make 'jade' a valued stone. Similar to comparing a Big Mac with the phrase 'good food'. ...Ken Sawatsdee Krup K' Ken, Long time didn't see you post. How's the Teak business?

As this is not the usual reaction I get from young women I was a bit taken aback, then I realized it was the teak dust on my clothes that she thought smelled so fine. Now, that's my kind of woman ! Still making teak decking, still building teak and cedar boats. best regards......Ken Hmmmm, a new men's deodorant fragrance perhaps Ken : "Old Teak" I can see the advertising now. Drive the women in your life wild with ...."Old Teak" ...Are you ready for it?? Sandy Huay Khwaang >Now, that's my kind of woman ! Mine too!
