Most of these cabs are from the slabs that Stoner (Ed's) sent me

Here are some wood I can't remember what kind (palm maybe?) they look a little dull - I think that was me - not the camera I think my 220 belt is too smooth now - time to change - these are smelly rocks...

Here is some of that agate I got off ebay - it,s sweet & polishes up nice

This one I really like, green moss agate -

Here is a wonderful piece - I really like it - it's a little lopsided but it was supposed to be like that, yeah, it's a freeform. hehe

it comes from this stone - my dad wants a ring (I'm back on that again) but the back of this stone has brownish I-can't-clean-it druzy - would it still work for a wrapped ring?

Here are two Queen of Africa - I'm starting to get a hang of the flats (on the sides - the flat tops I'm still trying to get) - the second pic is the correct color

Here is some starburst jasper - hmmmm, kinda cracky huh?!? wonder if it's the stone or me...

this is a beautiful piece - a flattish piece - with iris-like lines in it

Here is that australian tiger iron - my cabo-tried-to-save
three pics - to try to show the flash

Thanks for looking

Puts me to shame- Nice job on all of them tweet- I was grinding last night with the intention of getting SOMETHING to polish- I burned the thumb on the left hand and the index on the right- I can't even Hold a stone- let alone grind- Maybe this weekend?

I can't tell if thats some Gneiss Schist, or that Schist is Gneiss. All I know is don't take it for Granite

I love the shapes and it really looks like you had some fun cutting these. So have you gotten the diamond wheel yet?

No Ed no diamond wheel yet - maybe another week or so - I'm really anxious to get that - but I still have to get my 120 diamond belt before I can use it since by 220 SC belt is pretty worn... my dad really liked that cut slab of agate - wants a ring
