Blue Chalcedony Africa, Sodalite and Cripple Creek Picture Jasper I had to try out my new dop sticks from minerken The big cab above is 66mm wide at the top. Ken made me a larger dop and handle. The Dop above is for large cabs it is 3/8" dia shaft and a 1" top The normal half inch dop handle on the bottom and the 1" grip above. It is really comfortable in my hand. I also got a 3/4" dia grip too. Ken cut an X in the top to help the glue solvent get in for a release. I have used CA glue but have not had time to try any release method other acetone. Dop sticks work great

Nice cabs, I love the dop sticks minerken makes. I use a little heat and drop right off.

I'm glad they turned out to work well for you. Yeah, with that big one, you should have no worries.

Beautiful cabs rmf! Those dop sticks look great too. The more the arthritis acts up in my hands the more I think I may need to learn to dop.
