As always the GANDERIZING is all your own fault.  Thank you SO much Dave!   |

I'd about given up on commenting since I always seem to be saying the same thing about your cabs and I'm running out of superlatives. But I will try. In addition to your usual perfection, I love the shapes you chose for each--of course, the St. John's is special, but oh my! The tiffany! The crazy lace! The Bruneau! Nice work.

Thank you SO much Susan! I was actually kind of nervous once I realized I didn't have a marquis stencil...but I think I got it figured out! LOL - I really like that shape! I couldn't break up that Tiffany slabette! I that's one of the biggest cabs I've done. |

All gorgeous, of course!  The Bruneau, St. John's and the Tiffany are my favorites. I do really like that shield shape on the Crazy Lace (and it's a really sweet piece of CL)! |

Cabbing is SO addictive! As soon as I cab something new (like the Tiffany Stone)...and if I only have a single slab of it, I'm instantly looking for that material to buy a truckload of it! LOL If I had another 100 pounds of cuts from that particular Crazy Lace piece, it still wouldn't be enough! |

Sweet cabs, Jason! What I like the best is the shape of both #2 and #8. Is that from a template or your own free-form cuts? I think that it has real potential for more outstanding cabs if you can play with the relative dimensions.

I think that it has real potential for more outstanding cabs if you can play with the relative dimensions. Thank you SO much Gary! That shape is not from my imagination unfortunately! I saw that stencil shape online...and used it! Well...you've piqued my curiosity as to how you're imagining the differential in the dimensions. I've seen a similar type of shape that has in inside curve on that top right side...but I prefer the way it curves outward. If I eliminate the "nub" at the bottom, then it's basically just the same shape as #4. The only other thing I can think to do would be to make it fatter and squattier... |

They are all superb, and I especially like the St John and Tiffany.
Peace, Rich

I'll see if I can generate some ideas in a few days...

Holy moly, I'm glad I checked in and saw this thread. Those are outstanding cabs. I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite although I'm partial to Bruneau as far as jaspers go.

I was SO hoping you would say something like that! Seriously, thank you for taking a look at it! Holy moly, I'm glad I checked in and saw this thread. Those are outstanding cabs. I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite although I'm partial to Bruneau as far as jaspers go. Thanks Diane! I just cut out some "Aberrant" Bruneau this afternoon. It's definitely aberrant! I might get them done this weekend. It's starting to snow...and is supposed to continue all weekend!  |
