Hi all! I haven't posted pictures of my work here before, so I'll have to see how it goes. I have a bunch of cabs in the works, but I have to let my eyes heal after surgery before I can finish them up. Too risky to get something in my eye right now, so here is one of last years cabs as a test... It's from the core of a Lucky Strike Thunderegg. Thanks for looking Craig

Fantastic set. The shatukite (sp?) really pops. The gyp is stunning. But the Willow is my favorite.
Peace, Rich

Those are super! Craig socalagatehound . Getting in cabbing practice to use the slabs and rough you get at the silent auction next year? You will not regret going! Don't know if they have a date set for next year, but it is usually around Mother's Day, either just before or justafter.
Will let ya know, so you don't miss it! Jean
ETA - Why are these the first we have seen, Craig? Loving the GYP.

Where have you been hiding? You should have been posting all along. Very nice work! I especially like the willow and graveyard point.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and thoughts. I may have misspoken a little...the surgery was just my left eye, but even one eye pretty much shuts you down. I now have an intraocular lens in my left eye and it should give me 20-20 again. I haven't seen that well in years. Healing is going well. Jean, Tela... Okay, I know I've been slacking. I was hoping to get a better camera or a phone with a better camera before posting here. I did post some pics on another forum some time ago but I knew the pictures needed work. I still haven't gotten a better camera or phone, but figured I'd give it a go with what I have. Craig

First, good luck on the healing process and smart not to take any chances until healing is complete! I'd be proud to have created any of these cabs, but the OJ and Shattuckite pop!

Glad you posted pictures, those cabs look awesome. Hope your eye heals up quick and you can get back to making pretties again.
