Love the view in the second pic. Shape reminds me of graphing all those equations in math class. Graph paper too. Now - can you grind up a Mobius strip? Rich

It calls out to be wrapped, but I just don't have the skills for it-yet. All my wraps still come out looking like the bionic man's pubic hair. Think I'll let Tony deal with this one.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It's a lot of fun just putting the stone to the grinder and letting the stone almost call out it's shape to be.

Joe, I saw your first grinder pieces and you've got a great start, just keep going.

I personally always like cabs on the horizontal than the vertical when set. And you allow for either room to be filled nicely.
