Here is one of my standard 3" wide cabs. Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper. And here is a style that I have only cut once before. Brazilian Agate 2" high. Thank You for looking. Bob

Wow!!! The Morgan Hill looks awesome, Bob. Just getting a nice solid slab that size is tough nowadays, never mind killer pattern and color. Real nice Brazilian too, but the eyes keep goin' up. Rich

The Morgan is beautiful but the shape in the second pic does amazing justice to the banding on the Brazilian.

"Standard"? Your standards are so high! "Work of art" would be more appropriate than "standard". And this is valid for that second cab, too!

PS. I know poppy jasper has lots of fractures usually. Have you found such a big fractureless piece, or did you have to stabilize it?

Adrian, I'm always on the lookout for fracture-free material. In fact I almost always refrain from buying a piece if it has any fractures. That is why I never buy online especially on ebay. This particular piece was essentially free of fractures and pits so I didn't have to use any fracture sealer on it. Bob

That morgan hill is spectacular, it looks like a hand painted piece of art, you do incredible work, you are a master my friend. I like Dee's idea of a cab calendar, that would be neat. Amber

As usual, Bob shows us what one can do with a "standard" shape. Both are beautiful but that Morgan Hill is amazing. The shape of the cab mimics the orbs.........something that wouldnt have been noticable with a pointy freeform shape.
Thanks for sharing,
Shannon
