Really nice shapes there. I agree with the others, give us close ups. You cans appreciate them so much better up close.

Thank you all very much for the kind words , I will work today on getting a lightbox made so I can get much better pictures taken . They all have a nice shine to them which I know you cant see. But I was so excited to have got them done that I Wanted to share them with you all.
Yes Rich I still have my Christmas box lol I wanted to wait untill I'm really good at cabbing , I'd hate to screw any of them up lol
I just let the stones tell me what shapes they would like to be lol
Thanks again for the kind words... it's nice to be back

Just take the cabs outside to take the pics. IMO, sunlight is best for photographing stones.

Very nice wolf! In all honesty, I think you're a natural! The top idontknowite and the two Koi are my favorites!

Ooh, I love your Vermont jade and the Green Tree! Beautiful cabs. I'm thinking of an Ameritool myself, maybe...
Gosh, I just don't check the board often enough - I'm missing all sorts of stuff....

Thanks alot for all the kind words .. I have another batch in the works now if I get time I'll try an finish them today.
Amy I love my Ameritool .. it was affordable and works great, the only thing I would change is , to use the screw on bases , that way you are less limited to size as the hold down nut wouldnt be there.
I just found out that the VT Jade may in fact be Vesuvianite
