Here's four more that I was able to squeeze out today. I cut the shapes last weekend. Three were pre-forms the other a free-form. I had to re-shape the pet wood when a small piece chipped off. It's the first cab of dino bone I did too. Kind of messy; but still lots of fun. ENJOY! I sure did!! ;D The whole bunch. Plume, Pet Wood, Dino and Condor  Individual shots. Pet Wood  Condor  Plume  Dino Bone  Thanks for letting me post my cabs. I have been learning lots from others, and I appreciate the help and feedback I've recieved. I had some advice to buy a few cinch mounts and cab some pre-forms to fit them. It will allow me to hone in on my skills. I think it's great advice, and even though I love just grinding out shapes....I need to work on the skill. Steve |

Good advice Steve!!! Just by cutting any cabs will help hone your skills, as it's already showing. Still haven't made your cab stand I see!

;DSome most excellent advice!  Nope...still haven't made the cab stand yet. After washing/waxing my 3 vehicles, mowing the lawn, hiking, cleaning the shed...the weekend just sort of disappeared. I was lucky enough to cab for a little bit.  Steve |

The condor is awesome!  Those are all great bud. One bit of advice- if anyone hasn't told you yet, when you make your pre-forms for the cinch mounts, make them too big. If you make them the right size from the start, they'll be way too small by the time you get to the polish. If they end up too big after you polish them, you can always touch them up until they slide right in. |

I love the condor, but the plume is definitely my favorite! Awesome job on all of them.

I like your shapes and shines, Steve! I think you need to let all the chore stuff go and do your rock work Tony |
