I got to spend a good part of the day out in the garage cutting cabs. Here's all but one of them.. I couldn't get a good shot of it with the light I had this evening. I'll try again tomorrow..

Oh, all of these shapes were done using the templates Tony Terner made.. thanks a bunch Tony!

Lace

Plasma Agate

Turritella Agate

Leopard Skin

Royal Sahara Jasper

And the back

Thanks a bunch for looking!

The plasma agate is really cool lookin'. Just wonderin' about the RSJ . . . how'd you decide on front and back? Rich

Very nice Brian. I'll have to check out those templates. You got a great shine on the leopardskin jasper. That stuff can sometimes be a bear to shine up. On your RSJ, the front side looks like a worm hole and then on the backside, it looks like the end of the worm hole where things exit into another part of space. Cool looking piece.

very nice Brian. I got a set of the templates from Brian and can't wait to use them...one of these days. I really like the shapes of your cabs, and of course the cabs themselves. Thanks for sharing..I could never get tired of looking at CABS!

Stunning stones Mr Jello, for me it has to be that leopard skin jasper - that's a fab looking rock, I never heard of the plasma agate before, that looks nice and shiney to me too. Fine work, keep it going Sir. Thanks for posting them.

Cheers,

Harry

Those are all excellent cabs as usual. I like the turitella the best, really trippy looking.
