Here's a few more that I finished, I think I like the peanut wood the best. I was surprised at how rich the browns are. The white coral(?) is super soft and porous but I still like it. All slabs from rockjunquie.  Thanks for looking!  |

Great looking cabs miket. They’re all so unique I can’t pick a favorite. Did you get a new cabber? |

I have to agree with Brent- not sure I can pick a favorite miket, really nice ones. I like the free form shapes - that's something I'm just not good at. Tell me which is the peanut wood the one on the top right ? I like that pattern Patty |

Top left is the peanut wood. I’m looking for that as well but it’s a pretty penny. |

Very nice looking and harmonious set. I love the bottom-right cab, the hollows are so cool!

Great looking cabs miket . They’re all so unique I can’t pick a favorite. Did you get a new cabber? Thanks Brent! Tela was kind enough to share some slabs with me. My kids bought me a used machine with 4" wheels,. It's so much easier to cab now but I'm still dialing in on getting a good polish. I have to agree with Brent- not sure I can pick a favorite miket , really nice ones. I like the free form shapes - that's something I'm just not good at. Tell me which is the peanut wood the one on the top right ? I like that pattern Patty Thanks Patty! I love doing freeformed shapes- sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, however... The peanut wood is top left, the rest are fossils. Here's a few more that I finished, I think I like the peanut wood the best. I was surprised at how rich the browns are. The white coral(?) is super soft and porous but I still like it. All slabs from rockjunquie . Thanks for looking! I like that these are all fossils or petrified objects. Makes for a nice collection. 👍 Thanks! I didn't plan it that way at first... Excellent cabs, miket ! The peanut wood rocks. Thanks Robin! First time I've worked with that- fun stuff! 😁 These all look spectacular my friend!! I especially like the shape on the Turitella! Thanks Jason! I was pleased with that shape also. Beautifully done! And very eye-catching materials. Adrian Thanks Adrian! |

miket What can I say? You have done a professional job on these and you have done the material proud.
I like that weird coral, too. I bought several slabs, so I didn't mind sharing. That peanut wood can be pricey- good thing you knocked it out of the ball park. |
