This one is 2 1/2" high and 2" wide. The shape was dictated by the pattern and the rough shape. Unfortunately it had some fractures. I guess I'll have to seal them soon. Front. Back After I finished the cab I decided that I like the pattern on the back better, especially the protrusion sticking up from the bottom yellow pattern. Bob

Very nice, I think I still like the front side, very interesting all the pictures in that stone. Love the shape and the size, I love big stones.

I hate it when you rough shape the cab then start doming it then realize the best side is actually the flat back side. On yours, I like both sides - but the front better, that little nub looks like a pimple on a flat butt! The front is better!

Yeah boy, I do like the shape! The front side has more scenes in it, and the flip side has more faces. Can't pick a side. Is it thick enough to do a double? Tony

Thanks for all of your comments. Tony, Unfortunately it isn't quite thick enough to make a double sided cab. Wish it was. Bob

I like the back side as well. Ijust find it more interesting. I do the same thing Tweet! I pick a material for a certain look and by the time I grind the top, I find that the backside is more interesting.

Bob, supper cab. Like the color on back side too. Surprising how colors can flow from one side to the other.

That is one big beautiful cab. Both sides have great pattern but I love the front. It seems to have more depth to it especially if you look at what is in the center. Its really an awesome scene.

Very nice cab. Both sides look good to me. At first the back looked best but after view both side a few times I think you picked the right side to be the front.
