Howdy! This evening I finished up 10 new cabs that I started Friday after work. Between working on these and going through the half ton of pet wood I just picked up the weekend is gone! Oh but what a nice weekend it was  Crazy Lace  Moss I found near Las Cruces  Unknown Agate  Botswana (too dang'd shiny for it's own good  )  Curt's Snakewood  Blackskin Agate  Turritella Agate  Some kinda wood. Fractured to begin with but too pretty not to cab  Dendritic Agate  Morgan Hill  Thanks a bunch for lookin'! |

Very nice Brian. That moss you found near Las Cruces is some nice looking stuff. All your cabs have great shapes and a great shine, I'm impressed. The cuts are really nicely placed also, you have a good eye for picking out a pleasing look to feature on the cab.

Yep...great shapes, beautiful shining cabs. I love that very first one. It has such vibrant beauty!!! The last two are giving it stiff competition for best of the lot, too. Glad I don't have to serve as a judge on which one is best--they are all beauties!!!

Ten is also the mark you diserve for your work! That balckskin agate is a killer! And, of course, the dendritic.

Brian those are super, super nice! I really like the Tortuga's agate, the shells look pretty cool in the matrix. I will have to try some one day. Great job on those.

Thanks a lot everyone! A special BIG thanks to you Ed. Your killer cabs are what inspired me to start doing this to begin with. You pointed the way with the how-to links, and patiently gave lots of tips and advice to help me out. And now I'm hooked! ;D
I really appreciate it.

Brian,
These are all stunning and blinding! The shine you are able to achieve is amazing. You do know how pick the perfect shape for the stone. Won't even attempt at a favorite on this bunch.

Great cabs Brian, love them all but like Dan the Turritella stands out, sometimes contrasting patterns and shapes just make the cab, at least to me.

Oh wow! These are all sensational. If I had to choose I'd say my favs were the black skin agate and the turritella.
