Here's s few I've finished and some I'm still working on. Been pretty busy lately but cabbing when I can. Tiffany Stone 2nd one is.... well... I'm not sure... Tiger Iron Some "C" grade OJ A dusty Helliotrop... this one will be double domed A double dome in progress... from The Magic Garden at Woodward Ranch... this one belongs to Susan. Next 3 are Crazy Lace These 2 Ovals were marked on the slab that I bought so I can't take credit for the composition... And lastly but not leastly... A big double domer in progress I should've dusted these off before taking pictures.. sorry 'bout that. Thanks for lookin'. Hope you enjoyed 'em Dan

Dan, I enjoy seeing your cabs as well. You have such nice clean lines...and the cabs you pick out of the stones are perfect. Love those Laces and I really like that Heliotrope shape. Susan's WWR is very nice as well. Thanks for posting your stuff. You should do it more often. Steve

Excellent work, the Crazy lace cabs are awesome. The Magic Garden is some sweet material. I love the colors in it.

I knew I am going to see some nice lamps and cameras reflections when I saw your thread. Those cabs are gorgeous, simply impossible to pick just one fav.

Wow, Dan! Great set. I love the Lace, particularly the 3rd. And the Tiger Iron with the crocodile wolf head is very intriguing! Tony

Thanks for the great comments folks. I need to correct the ID on the Tiger Iron... I was told by the friend that I purchased it from that it's actually Mara Mamba Tigereye.... I had suspected it was but wasn't sure. The Hematite band should have given it away.
49er - I'm thinking about doing a groove wrap on the Bloodstone. One of the Crazy Lace ovals will be wrapped for a regular customer and the big double dome lace will probably be displayed in my collection.... dunno yet.... I think that the 2nd lace cab will be set aside for a Bezel set once I learn how to do it... I have my jewelers torch and am slowly gathering more tools to do some Smithing.
Next project is some leafy cabs for Adrian's tree...
Thanks again all.
Dan

Those are very nice cabs. You did a great job and you've got some excellent material! Can't go wrong with that combination! I like them all, but my favorite is the Woodward Ranch cab.

Every cab here is beautiful! I keep going back to the first one though. It has a lot of depth to it. Fran
