Hi,
I purchased some slabs from Stonesthatrock. I want to thank them for such fine slabs and quick delivery. After cutting and glueing the some of the slabs this is what I came up with in a Cabochon.
Thank you for looking and I look forward to your comments.

Wow, I really like the variety of patterns! Are you choosing the patterned sections from the slabs, or are the slabs incredibly detailed? I'm just wondering how much "waste" slab you have in this sort of production, if you are trying to choose the best patterns.
Thanks!

Are you using your wf saw to cut the slabs up....or, as Randy said do you have the world's smallest miter saw? Beautiful again! Karen

I am in disbelief when I see these cabs of yours. It must take a lot of patience and time! I guess you must have both; huh? I love seeing your creations...simply awe-inspiring! Steve
