I just started cabbing recently a big thank to Tony for being nice enough to pass down a 2 wheel arbor for me to be able to do this. Also a thanks to Steve for the 2 expando drums. Here are my 2nd, 3rd and 4th cabs and hopefully many more to come. I actually am going to try and set these in Silver this weekend. A friend is going to show me how to do that, lets see how they turn out. Biggs Jasper: cab is 76mm X 32 X 8mm thick Graveyard Point: cab measures: 70mm X 35mm X 6mm Montana Agate: Jason

Those are your what? Huh? Your first cabs? Dang, those are spectacular, especially for your firsts. The Biggs is awesome and I love the shape.

You are certainly off to a good, well maybe a great start. The Biggs is just plain outstanding, and polish on the Montana could hurt someones eyes! Woody

When I scrolled down and saw the Biggs, it literally took my breath away! It is incredibly beautiful. The others are lovely too, but that Biggs - slobbering all over myself and lusting after it! And these are your firsts? You certainly have a gift! llana

Wow! You know, I may never post another cab again. *L* The level of skills many of you possess after only a couple of tries is absolutely amazing. I can't do half that well and I've been hacking away at stones for like 30 years. The first two are so good I couldn't even pic a favorite between them!.....Mel

Beautiful! Awesome framing of pattern on the first two. The montana is so shiny it's hard to see the details! I can't wait to see these as pendants.

Holly Cow, Jason! You sure did something right! These look great. Can I stop by and see how you work? The results of your technique are way better than mine.

WOWSA! That first Biggs is just incredible they all are!!! You have a natural talent for this! Great stuff, and you did this with a passed down machine with 2 wheels? WOW ! They are all so shiny and great, nice shapes, they all deserve to be set in silver! Amber

The Biggs and Gravepoint are the most amazing patterns of those two stones that I've ever seen. All three of those are incredibely well-done.

Those cabs don't look like being done by someone who just started cabbing, they are so beautiful and ellegant! All of them are beautiful and perfectly shaped, but my favorite is the Biggs, I like so much its pattern!

Here is a couple more photos of the Montana. I should have wiped the finger prints off the dang thing. Jason
