I liked these and they are a little different. Unknown Jasper from Robert, I did the angles and they were good but decided it would look better with the edges curved, they are all even and look great. I did not see the scratches on the face until the pic, still can't see them with the naked eye. It took a unreal shine. Crazy wwr stuff, check out the crystals. The top looks misshapen in the pic but it isn't. Charorite My oldest daughter picked out, I did this one a few days ago but I dropped and chipped a edge, Fixed it today. Unk from Robert. The dark pit will have to be filled and repolished, the white stripes are shallow so no more sanding. I had fun with these a different challenge with each one. Hope you like them. Spike

NICE pieces. I think the one your daughter picked out is my favorite.

Very nice all of them. The red one with quartz and the amethyst are my favs.

Yep, definitely looks mishapen Mark! Just kidding. They all look great. You're getting a terrific shine on your cabs and it looks like the domes are nice too. Pretty brave trying to do a cabojohn so early into this cabbing thing, but it looks like you pulled it off nicely.

Two ideas, Spike.
Wherever you do your cabbin' - put a rug on the floor.
Get a 10x loupe. Nothin' goes past the 280 wheel till all the scratches are gone.
