Hello All, I enjoy making intarsia/composite cabs, so I went out to the shop a couple days ago to find something I could work with. I found a nice piece of Gary green jasper. The center of the cab is the Gary Green, framed in white petrified wood, then tiger eye, then lime chrysoprase. I may re-do the bottom center piece because those little spots of brown agate look like defects, although they aren't. Anyway, I had fun making the cab. It went through several iterations. I first finished the cab before I had the chrysoprase around it, but my wife said it looked like the Sphynx, so I continued on and ended up with what you see below. Here is the slab. Here is the cab: I hope you enjoyed the photos.
