Today was another day of cabbing fun. I'm making up for lost time and got to some rocks I have been meaning to cab for a while. Hope you enjoy them. Steve Unknown agates from a rockshop in Jerome AZ.   Morgan Hill Poppy Jasper X2. These are super thin, not much thicker than a nickel.   Unusual poppy jasper  Unknown agate, maybe Laguna  Limbcasts  Sweet Aussie wood from One80Mike  And a nice banded agate, also from down under  Burro Creek agate from November's trip  Pair of agates from the Burro creek trip. These are from the "dead cow" area.  Two more from the same place. I've been meaning to cab this find for a while.   |

Outstanding! I like the wood and the yellow Burro Creek the bestest.

LOVE the shape of that last cab! All the cabs are terrific, so I can't tell you a fave!
That limbcast makes a really neat cab. I'll have to dig some of mine out from whatever box it's currently in. Love the solid agate look of it...

Nice batch! I think the last two are my favorites. I love the patterns and shapes of both of those!  |

Yeah those limb casts are real nice. Man are they hard. Takes a while to get them done but they come out with a super shine.
Anyone know what that yellow stuff from burro creek is? Fossilized ? ? ? ? I just cut up some more pieces from the trip and found some smaller similar patterns.

Beautiful, Steve.
Those last ones, the Morgan Hills and of course the Chinchilla wood and Aussie agate. You've done a great job on them.
BTW the wrap you sent for my wife...there has hardly been a day that she has not worn it since it arrived. She has been stopped in the shopping centre (mall) a number of time by complete strangers who want to look at it and ask questions about it.

Those came out great; great photos too. The first and the last are my favs. That Aussie wood is really nice looking too; the agate is almost like a bot; very nice. The shield shape on the last one really works with the pattern

Excellent cabs Steve. That dead cow poppy is awesome. If you turn the Aussie wood ninety degrees to the left, you can see that old WWII grafitti, "Kilroy was here". See it. hands and his face? Okay, no more flashbacks!

Beautiful cabs, Steve! All of them are great, but that Chinchilla makes me want to cab something from my pet woods from Mike.
