Beautiful cabs, Gary! Love the last one.

Robin

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Thank you Son Of Beach, that was one I was really excited to grind.

Thanks agatewhisperer. Once i got started it was hard to stop. That Indonesian palm root really took a nice shine

Thanks jasoninsd, I'm anxious to do more of the palm root. I've get 2 small slabs.

Thank you hummingbirdstones. That was purchased as "Crazy Madadascar Lace" That was the one spot on the slab with all the white fortifications. The rest is beautiful but is multi-colored. I'll be doing more of it soon.

Thanks opalpyrexia. I'm really liking that material and just bought a little more. It's Birdseye Rhyolite from Brian Rhode at Central Lapidary. Much harder and easier to work with than the other birdseye I have that should probably be stabilized.

Thank you khara. Glad you enjoyed them. I'm loving the new machine and the workspace.

Thank you liveoak. I was pleasantly surprised how that one turned out. The entire surface of the cab is covered in large pits and openings. It was advertised as druzy but not much sparkle. The pattern was a pleasant surprise once I started grinding.

Thank you so much rocknewb101. I believe the final is tri-flow obsidian with gold sheen.
