Fantastic cabs Roger. Those colors are amazing! Except for the matrix, I'd swear some of those were Dryheads....Mel

Great work on the cabbing too.

Great cabs Roger. Love the group shot. The Raytec belts are the only way to go. Now, do yourself another favor and get some 14k and 50k diamond paste and throw away the alum oxide polish. Put a dab of paste on your leather belt, work it in, and you're good for a couple of months. No messing around with with mixing and applying the oxide polish, and I haven't met a stone I couldn't polish yet!
