Hi all. Well I pushed my back as far as I could and managed to get 2 of the plume cabs done. This stuff is awesome to work with and really takes a great shine.

Man, I can't wait to work up more of this material.

Thanks for looking.

Glad I didn't just bust them up and throw them in the tumbler.

Oooooooooooo wow! That last one is just simply gorgeous, beautiful job. Ed, what did you do to your back? How come it's giving you such a hard time?

Tweetie, the first slab was around an 1/8" of an inch and the second one was 1/4". Both cabs are polished on both sides but only domed on the front side.
I wish I knew what causes my back to go out Cher, but thankfully it's getting better.
Thanks everyone, and thank you Toad for not breaking these slabs up and tossing them in the tumbler, although, they would probably look good tumbled too.
