I think it would look really cool John. Maybe a teat drop shap on the backround with the coral near the bottom.

That stuff is really pretty, can you tumble that or is it just for cabbing?

that is really pretty. I have some red horn coral but never cut it. Rough didn't look promising. maybe I should have a second look at it. Very pretty!

Man I thought 'Hurray, John's cabbing again!' That's one great looking cab, sometimes the spammers can bring up the good ones
