I have been not been working on cabs lately because I had to replace five of the wheels on my genie. I finally wore the ones down that came with the Genie to the point where I had to press hard to even get them to grind. Anyway here are three that are not completed: the first is RSJ framed with Mookiate  The second one is I am not sure, but I framed it with jade I got from tonyturner, I want to thank him again:  This third one I also am not sure what the stone's are other than the red is Mookiate:  This was the first time trying to do a circle, it is quite hard to get the to match up....don't know if I will try that again. Thank You for looking and of course any and all comments are welcome. gary |

Sorry I put in the top description that they are not completed, my mistake as they are completed.

Gary,
It's great to see more of your cabs. That last one is super nice! I cannot fully appreciate the time you must put into these..but I would imagine it's quite time consuming. I like the corners you added(upper) on the middle one. Beautiful stuff and what a Creative Talent!

WOW; you are evolving these fantasy cabs. Those look awesome; worth of being in a lapidary magazine or something.

Oh wow! I love them all, especially the second one. I have only done intarsia once and it was a challenge. Definitely worthy of a magazine.

That middle one has got to be one of the coolest things i've ever seen. I would think any lapidary related magazine would be happy to showcase your cabs.

Would you be willing to make a cab/display piece for commission if i sent you a design? I have an image I would really like to see in stone, and you are doing exactly what i want....great work!

Afrter reading the thread's title, I new it's gonna be a blast to watch your post!
The first one looks like a cave, the second one like an underwater landscape and the third one... well, the third one looks like the ultimate proof of your artistry! Matching so great that circular cut is awesome!

Gary, those came out amazing!!! I love seeing your work! The cave giant in the first one scares me a bit.  I love the colours on the 2nd one and the cute little corner pieces. The 3rd one is just outstanding...the colours all work so well together, and it is truly a great demonstration of your talent. |

Fantastic as usual Gary. I can imagine that one with the circle was really hard to line up and assemble. I like the middle one the best but I'm a sucker for green.
