OK-after many weeks and re-grinding-regrinding-regrinding-I have 2 cabs completed! One is a piece of wood that really took on a nice shine, and the other is some picture jasper that I got from Earthdog a while back. Thanks for looking! Karen   |

Oh Karen! These are marvelous. You've done an outstanding job. The picture japser is my favorite. I just love the rolling hills and the pale blue sky.

They both look fantastic Karen. You should be proud of both of those. That Picture Jasper has an outstanding scene! I can't wait to see the countryside like that again!

WTG Karen, those look great. Won't be long and there'll be no more regrinding, you'll be whipping them out like crazy.

You did an outstanding job. The overall dimensions look great as does the sanding and polishing you did.
Great Job!

Thank you so much all! I got some really good slices off that piece of jasper. I've got another oval that's really big 52 x 38-I just couldn't bear to cut away too much of the landscape. I'm definitely hooked and wearing out SIC pads faster than I can buy them!
Thank you again!
Karen
