Susan. looks like you and me had the same idea going on. I like the material...Crazy Lace, Bots, and I'm sure some of your Woodward stuff. It looks fantastic...and it looks like it was a fun day! Steve

Hey, I'm all about tumble finished saw-cut preforms. Lately I can't resist perfecting the shapes on my 120g wheel, but w/ or w/o the wheel, I think setting these polished stones will rivial the best cabs. Cheers.

Hey those look great Susan! You got the hang of it pretty quickly.. word of warning though.. once you start pre-shaping tumble rough it's hard to be patient waiting for the rough stuff to finish shaping up.. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) I know I'm spoiled now... hehe..

I think the proper term is cab-in-waiting. Great looking cuts, Susan. That crazy lace is awesome.
You're right, Dan. I'm getting a little spoiled myself, although I don't get enough time with the workforce to make it downright frustrating.

The chevron amethyst is what I have found is called phantom amethyst. You have a wonderful start to those cabs, they are going to be georgous when it is done. Tami
