I like the hearts. Must be tough to bevel, or dome where the two lobes meet at he vee.

Whew Dan! What a terrific batch of cabs! If I had to pic favorites, and it is difficult, I'd say the flower garden and those two black and red Woodward Plumes. Man, those are fine!.......Mel

Now Dan, that is a beautiful batch! I don't know how you can get the hearts to turn out so well! That Bloodstone is just beautiful! Fran

Great cabs, Dan. Do you do those hearts completely on a wheel, or are you using a dremel/foredom or something else.

Way to go Dan. And to think I was there with you when you collected those Woodwards. I knew those cabs when they were roughs.

Thanks for all the great comments folks.. The hearts were done on 6" wheels. The domes were a little tricky because I'd never done one before. Here's a pic to give an idea how to get the initial shape.... Just do one side first and then switch to the other... Thanks again... glad y'all enjoyed 'em... Dan

Dang those are cool! I LOVE the carnelian rose, just because it's so unique. The hearts are fantastic, too...any mom would be happy to have one of those for mother's day!

Very nice work! I've never cut one of the hearts before, thanks for posting the image on the inside top angle cut. I love the flower garden agate and Carnelian rose.
