Well, I'm back on an ob binge. Can't stay away from it too long. Did seven cabs this week and here are three of my favorites: Out of all three, this is my absolute fave. The picture does not do it justice. The speckles at the bottom are actually two separate semi-transparent layers that look soooo cool. And of course that upper Mahogany layer was at a dream angle! This is also a Lace but I had to use my flash to get the pattern to show up (hate using flash) Back-lit And last but not least, a rainbow Back of cab is also full of sheen Thanks for looking! EDIT: 10/27 10:29pm, Forgot to add that the Lace is from Jason aka Rockhound97058 (I just got some SUPER cool new stuff from him.... just wait!) and the rainbow slab was from Justin aka Juzwuz! THANK YOU!!!!

Awesome! I always have to check out cabs by the queen of obsidian and you never disappoint. You sure get an incredible shine on those....Mel

Outstanding! - You do manage to get one heck of a polish on obsidian... not sure how you do it, but very nice!

Awesome shine! What's even funnier is that I also got my obsidian (including the rainbow) from rockhound97058. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the new stuff....

I wish you'd stop posting pictures like these. Now my wife expects me to do the same workmanship and you're getting me into trouble. Those cabs are amazing!
