Here is my batch of Obsidian Cabochons that I have recently finished. These are sourced from Glass Butte Oregon, Burns Oregon, Davis Creek California, Lassen Creek California, and Utah. Been working hard on getting the shine right one them and with the exception of some finger prints, they are turning out pretty well.  |

Oh my gosh! These are stunning. I have some mahogany that I'm trying to work with as a newbie cabber, and am really struggling. These look amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Holy cow, the polish on those is really nice and obsidian can be tricky. 👍👍 Care to share your methods?

Keep at it, I did not know what I was doing when I started and one day one came out really nice so I kept repeating what I was doing. |

This forum does a fun cab contest every month. Cab has to be made in the month of the contest. February’s theme was “hearts”. You had some awesome ones in that batch! Here’s the link, the voting for the hearts just ended today. If you go to the competition/contest area of the forum you can see all the previous months as well as the current March theme. Here are the hearts: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/101545/voting-open-contest-hearts-course |
