Hello, everyone! I cabbed a Pietersite cab from a piece that I got from Daniel - deb. Thanks again Daniel! It's the first time I work this material and I found it good and cooperative. I thought that material deserves something better than a groove wrap so I made a classic cab and want to frame it in gold. I took so many pics with the hope I could catch the glare better. But picturing this material is more difficult than cabbing it. Thank you for looking, Adrian

Very nice! I have bid on several pieces of that but have yet to win one. You can actually tell the pictures do not do that cab justice. I really like the shape also.

Zowey Batman that looks great. You can see the shine. I love the ones that have depth to them, sort of 3D lookin. The cab section is my fav. to look at you guys do some awsome work. Two Thumbs up from my 4 year old.

Great cab, Adrian. Can't wait to see it framed in gold. Who is going to get lucky, Ina or Ioana?

If it looks that shiny on the photo, I can only imagine how shiny it must be for real. Great job on it.

That cab is stunningly beautiful. I love pietersite and that one sure is calling for a gold frame. My hats off to you!

Thank you everyone! Zoran and Keith, that one was meant for Ina but I won't bet Ioana wouldn't "steal" it from time to time Adrian

Great job, Adrian! I've done one Pietersite cab, but I have another piece to work. It really is a nice material to work with. I need more... .
