Well, I finally sat down and did some cabbin. I formed these cabs on Saturday and finished them on Sunday (today) Most of these are shaped from the templets I bought through the Rockshed. It really helps if you want a certain shape.  I have never worked with any of these stones and frankly I don't know the name of many of them, so any help would be great.  I plan on wrapping these this week and putting them on my website. I have some from others to wrap and post also.  Thanks for checking these out.  Fronts  Backs  Bonus agate from Freeform This is so Pretty!!  Dino Bone I got from E-bay. I like this  Orangeish agate that I think came from one Jamies boxes.  Leopard Skin Jasper - I got from a rock show  These three I'm pretty sure I got from Bearcreek when he was auctioning off his stuff on e-bay.  close up 1  close up 2  close up 3 Any names or guesses would be wonderful!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! MAY YOU ALL HAVE HEALTH, WEALTH AND ROCKS!!! Tonja |

Very nice cabs Tonja. A great set to end the year with. I cheated and posted my set in the photos section.

Tonja-these are great! Did you do them all on the little Ryobie grinder you got from Home Depot?

Thanks for your kind remarks everyone. KJ these were done starting with the workforce and finishing with my slant lap flat cabber. My hubby got tired of buying wheels for the grinder as I would wear them down as fast as he would bring me one. I enjoy this cabber very much! Right now the grinder is sitting on the shelf.  Kim, I actually had a great time working with all of these stones. I really thought they would be hard to shape properly, but nope. I really like the dino bone also, but I have a question..... Is it really dino bone or just called that because it looks like bone? (Probably my first dumb question of the year, LOL) I have several more pieces of different colors. I won this lot from e-bay. Thanks everyone!! Tonja |
