By the time that I finished trimming and grinding all the divots, defects, fractures, voids and pits from the rough I ended up with what I call a whimsicalish shape. It is 2-3/8" tall. Bob

Makes me think of an Angel fish... That is the kind of shape that I love to wrap on! Lovely piece and nice job... :-)

The pattern in it makes me think of a manta ray, cruising in the ocean. Whimsical, indeed!

Beautiful! If you turn it 90 degs counterclockwise, the pattern becomes even more interesting: a lady wearing a long dress, admiring another dress which she is holding in her hand.

Beautiful piece, really nice shape! Well, you see, ed, she was sweeping when she decided to stop & pick the dress she had planned on changing into later!

Whatever she was doing is up to the viewer, Ed just don't look too hard. The cab is really stunning. I think I would, if I could wrap, wrap it with the point up so everyone could admire the lady with her dress and broom.
