I was not very pleased with the last RSJ cab I made, so I thought I would do 1 more. There are two pictures to show it either right side up or reversed 180'. Which way looks better? As always I enjoy your comments.

The color of the border is a brighter red than shows. It is the best I can do with my camera.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

The answer to your question? Yes.
Just joking, I mean it looks great either way! I like the first better, but it may just be that there is less glare from the flash/lighting so the color looks richer.

Beautiful. And with the shaping you've done on the frame, the seams seem to disappear.

Wow. Love it.

You are really knocking them out. I think I like it better the first way, it looks more like a landscape to me.

All I do is take slabs, cut them to size and put the colors together. I have not been involved in rocks for very long, I am still learning. gary

That looks like a window looking into a kelp forest...esp. the top one, the shadows! help! I'm lost in the pic. Would be a great one for a "name that cab" competition.
