I generate more cabs than I need. I've set aside some that I know I will never get to. I need to be inspired by something new. Maybe you have something to get rid of that I want. I have 28 cabs (4 groups of 7 random cabs) so far. I'll list them in lots. I won't break them up. All or nothing. I don't want to pay for shipping each one. I'll pay to get it to you, you pay to get it to me. First class is fine. Offer me 7 cabs of equal quality. I don't want your duds. I have my own and they are NOT in this group!
Send me some pictures via PM and I'll let you know if it is acceptable.
I will accept 5 or 6 mm thick slabbettes if they have a decent cab or two in them. They would count as however many cabs might be in them. NO heels.
So, one for one. I need an offer of 7 cabs per group.
If this works out maybe more people can do it.  I'm open to suggestions and ideas. GROUP 1 Natural line- not a crack
GROUP 2 (GONE)
3mm holes or maybe 2.5 don't remember.
GROUP 3 (GONE)
GROUP 4 (GONE)

Wowzers!! Tela you've got some freakin' amazing cabs you're offering up!! Some of those are some really high-dollar cabs actually!
I kinda feel badly though as I'm not sure what I'd do with the cabs, other than keep them. One of the things I've been able to say with my wraps is I've made them from start to finish...including making the cabs. So, I've never wrapped anyone else's cabs...except when someone has wanted me to wrap their cabs for them.
I think there should be quite a few people who should take you up on this trade offer though!

Of these, I purchased the imperial jasper. |

I purchased that from an Indonesian seller. To date- I have NOT cabbed a heart- mostly because I don't like wrapping them. I like yours better. |

Alas, the weather is much too cold to work on cabs right now and I've got an interesting bunch partially done right now . . .but that's not going to stop me from looking at my stash this evening to see if I have a bunch that's worthy of those that I can bear to part with. Maybe they won't be snatched up by then (?)

Looking forward to seeing what you have.
Remember I said same quality, not same value. |

rockjunquie - So there must be a reason why I've come back into this thread to look at group #4 like ten times! Dang you! LOL If you think we can do a trade, I'll take that lot #4. I have confidence I can find seven of my cabs you might want. I promise one will NOT be the Gary Green Frankenstein cab! LOL In addition, I'd like to donate that heart cab to whoever pulls the trigger next on any of the other three lots. I'll get the other six cabs in lot #4 and whoever pulls the trigger will get a bonus additional cab... I'll get some cabs put together and give you some options. We can continue this via PM.

Okay, I'll trade for group 3. I can put together a tolerable group, not as nice as I would like, and I'm going to send you "wings," one of my favorite slabs as well. I'm *really* curious to see if you can wrap it. Some questions: (1) I've got a really interesting copper complex but it was a very thin slab which means not much of a girdle. I'm also got an amethyst with gold rutile which is gorgeous, but it is one I threw unceremoniously in the vibe. It has a wide girdle, so it shouldn't be a problem, but I know you're not fond of "tumbled." Jason, send that heart to Mohs. I cut hearts, so he deserves it.
