Sands, he has some to come up to your touch. I say this as a professional in the business. His will set real nicely in silver or gold, but your work is sculpture oriented. You cut for the heart, not just to do it. Your polish is a step up also. I like your work.

Sands, I lost your web site on Ebay (again) and just went on a search for cabochons. Every time I came on this guys thumbnail, I thought it was you! You both have big, stubby fingers ;D He can't touch your work, dude!

Sands, you are doing more than something right, you are doing something marvelous. In this world there are artists and there are those who try really really hard...You're an artist man.

Well, those short, stubby fingers may look alike, but the stone tells the story. He has a way to go to even come close to you Sands. Actually, after looking at several of his cabs, I think that he has cut them in whatever shape, then tumbled them to finish. He has one kinda oval shaped green one that I am pretty sure just came out of the tumbler like that.
Sands, you da' man when it comes to the freeform cabs!
