Two years ago I bought this parcel of Blue Biggs from an ebay seller in Thailand. I exchanged emails with the seller before buying. Without a reference size what I bought was smaller than what I imagined Listing picture: What I got: What I made: A link to a recently sold BB parcel sold by the same seller. This one has a reference image bbI don't know how material from Oregon from the 70's ended up in Thailand except that jewelry is manufactured there and someone used local labor to make cabs. I decided to list the pieces as a lot and since they were so small they have been kept in a jewelry box I use to ship cabs. I sold the item today and it is on the way to Georgia.

Beautiful cabs. Blue Biggs is a favorite if mine. I have a couple nice slabs but I like them too much as slabs.

I don’t know a thing about making cabs, but to my inexperienced eye you did a fantastic job with what you received. Your cabs really aren’t much smaller than the original pieces and that seems like it would be a difficult thing to do. Your cabs are beautiful!
