Here is the latest batch! Laguna Agate Local PA Citrine The following 3 are materials from Wyoming that Wyobrian sent to me! These are for him! Opalized Wood- Very cool! Lysite Agate-very neat material, I loved this, he sent me a very unique boulder that is just too cool to cut! Pink Jade- This was great to work, no undercutting, took a fairly good shine! Well you know how I can never get the cabs to stay dopped? Well this one is still glued on!! It has been soaking in acetone for 3 days now!! Brian, I might have to make you another, unless you want to wrap it with the dowel attached, LOL!Tomorrow the saw is coming out! Thank you Brian for some new and different material! I hope you like these! Enjoy, Amber

Wowiee! You came back strong. The first one just blows me away. It's so awesome. The others are good (the wood is really cool)but the first one is good enough for it's own thread. WTG Amber!!

That first laguna is awesome. I really like the pattern on that one. The whole bunch looks good. You're on a roll.

Here is the latest batch! Opalized Wood- Very cool! Amber I cannot believe my eyes! Amber, who hated the pet wood, says it's cool! What a transformation! But no wander about it, it's not the only transformation: you became, from a good cabber, a master caber! The Laguna, the Very Cool Opalised Wood and the Lysite Agate are the living proof for this transformation! Adrian

Thanks Geoff, I take that as a real compliment!!! I got out of my funk, and am working lesser amounts of cabs, and really trying to pay attention to getting the scratches out early on! Adrain: Yes I have been loving wood, here is what I figured out: It is hard, and if you work it right it doesn't disappoint you This Wyoming material was REALLY nice!

My O my! Amber, these made my eyes go . That Laguna is absolutely stunning. PA citrine never looked so good and that Lysiet is a beauty. The pattern looks a bit like Crazy lace. You sure did kick it up with both the cabs and the pics. If this isn't the work of a professional, nothing is.

I can not say much more that has not already been said, but wow, you sure did get out of that funk, and that Laguna is just plain outstanding! Woody

Looks like the student has surpassed the teacher in both shape and shine, oh and not to mention photos too. Great batch sweetie.

I've given up picking favorites, just too difficult ;D "Adrain: Yes I have been loving wood, here is what I figured out: It is hard, and if you work it right it doesn't disappoint you " OMG , I have nothing else to say Dr Joe .

Gosh darn Amber, you sure are knocking out some fantastic cabs now days! The Laguna is really incredible but I've hardly ever seen Lysite Agate cabbed. Love that one too!.....Mel

Whoaaaaa, those are sweet!!!! That Laguna is my absolute favorite. Love the color and the fact that your shape mimics the pattern (narrow at the top, wide at the bottom).

Wow, you've gotten very good at both the cabs and the photos. I remember when you were here last year and didn't know an agate from an obsidian! I told you it was a slippery slope! Congrats on becoming so good so fast!
