Just a few for today so far. Some to finish on cab unit. The big one is the free slab yard sale this weekend. Have no clue what it is. My shapes are what the slab is I hate wasting rock. I use the Workforce to trim some are from template. I don't follow exactly to save rock. The Two uppers are from Sodalite I slabbed and they cracked while slabbing. So what you see is what I salvaged. Does any one now what the red is in the Sodalite? These are only polished to 3000 while I break in wheels.

Cman, I really like your shapes - they look much more natural than mine that I trace from a template. Those are some nice looking pieces. That big one looks like 3 different kinds of stone all put together. No clue what it is, though.

I really like the sail shaped cab in the middle. It looks to be Indian Blanket Jasper from Utah.....Mel
