Here's some recent cabs - a couple of pet woods, Noreena jasper, Mexican lace, and a small heel of Woodward plume.
There's a few tiny pits left on the Woodward, but I didn't want to grind any more and lose the plume or the tubes.

Nice work. I was gonna tell you that I liked the red one best but then the first piece really caught my eye and then there was...so it comes down to this--I think they are all beautiful except for the quarter. It doesn't have much of a shine and I've seen the same thing all over the place. :-)

As I said...NICE WORK!

And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

Did that Noreena jasper shine up? Ours didnt... so I wondered if yours did as you can't really tell from the photo. Ours looked pretty good even without the shine. And yours looks just as great. We were just curious. My fave is the first, though the shape of the second one is really great. Nice work!!

Try some super glue on the WWR cab. You can fill the pits and polish it up and the pits will disappear.

Ed - That's where I'm at with the Morgan Hill cabs. I did about nine of 'em, but most needed a little glue here and there. I put the glue on and never got back to them. I cabo-goned the best one - not even a hint of a fracture. Real pointy, like a Silverhawk, and I speared it into the wheel and snapped it.

Joi - The Noreena's got a good shine on it, but not like an agate.

They're both gorgeous and eclipse the others, which also are beautiful. Adrian

Great bunch of cabs Rich! Good to hear the Noreena takes a shine. I was looking at some at Snyder's Pow Wow and was wondering about that as it looked to be about the same texture as Printstone which is a booger to polish. I passed on it but will buy some next time. Hard to pick a favorite from your lot but I kinda like the two pet woods. Really interesting shapes and patterns....Mel
