First cabs since November 1. Green tree agate 2. Blue Mountain 3. Peach brecciated jasper from Mexico. I got this on ebay and it had similar characteristics to Stefoinite which is one of my favorites. I got a large slab which was very solid and took a great shine. This cab isn't very representative of the rest of the slab, but I like the pattern 4. Bruneau. My wife came up with an unusual design for the slab. I would have used the full orb pattern for one cab but she split the orbs into two cabs. 5. Imperial Reasonably pleased with my effort. The cabs need little work on missed sanding spots. It was pretty cold and I wasn't as patient as usual. Next week, swap out the wheels on the beast. I used a new scanner for these cabs and the scan is less distorted than the old one.

Nice to see your work again. Those are really nice cabs. I like the peach jasper but they are all fantastic.

The first one is green tree agate I believe and it is usually so full of pits but yours really looks nice. They all are great and I can see what your wife was going for with the bruneau. It turned out really nice. Fran

frane, green tree agate is correct, thanks.
I will update my post. My wife designed around 15 cabs that I cut preforms for around 4 months ago. I was lucky to remember where the preform box was.

I don't know if it's the scanner making them shine like that but you did a beautiful job - I like the blue mountain the bestest!

Each of them is so special and beautiful! In that rectangular one I think I see the silouhette of a clown in a circus arena. That Bruneau bullet is my favorite, congrats to your wife for drawing it.

I love the patterns and scenery in all these cabs. The shine and shapes are wonderful.

Blue mountain gets my vote-although they're all fabulous! Really like the shapes
