Hello, everyone! Here is what I cabbed these days. Although I also wrapped them, I post them here as they look more like classic cabs than the cabs that I usually groove wrap and which have a very low dome. This time I made a higher dome, especially on the pet wood (local wood) and on the Bird's Eye rhyolite (from Stonethatrock). I wasn't very confident about the shape of the Rocky Butte, I thought it would break because of its slenderness but I thought it's worth a try and I'm glad it remained in one piece Here are two pics of the fronts: And the sides: Thank you for looking, Adrian

Wow, Adrian! I *really* like the bird's eye rhyolite! You really selected the best pattern available for the cab.

Great shapes and a very creative shaping of the Bird's Eye material. They look gorgeous in those settings. Bob

They are really elegant. I liked the way you used the pattern in the Bird's Eye Rhyolite but all are equally beautiful. Superb job!

I agree with everyone else, you did a fantastic job framing the eyes in that rhyolite. Pretty shapes on all and a killer shine.

Those are just fantastic Adrian, your grove wraps really rock! I made my mom a compact out of that birdseye last year, what a great pattern!

Adrian, just how long does it take you to groove wrap one of your cabs? An average time will do.

Wow, Adrian!!!! The birds eye ryolite is really cool, and I think Randy said it I like the wood becuase it looks like wood, it actually looks like my living room floor, hahaha. Wow all 3 are beautiful as usual, they are so shiny, how do you finish your cabs? I am sure you probably have said what you use a million times, but I'm new!!! Amber
