Yep,
Just had to do it for the Lord, and of course my Dad! Here's a few that I got done today. It's amazing how some cabs just do not want there pictures taken. FRUSTRATING!!!
Oregon Jasper (self-collected when I lived there)Stubborn little bugger for a good pic.

Moss Agate. Not sure location.

Yard sale material. Don't have an ID...but you can look at the slabs in the ID section. A little lop-sided oval.

Wyoming Dendritic stuff. MESSY and MESSIER! The pit developed while cabbing, but I like it actually.

Dryhead Agate. Don't care too much for the shape...it reminds me of a snail.

Condor. Inspiration from Beef. Didn't want it's picture taken.

Laker. stuff from kap here on RTH. Didn't notice the scratches until after the pic. Bad Holmes...bad, bad Holmes!

My Fav! Biggs! I love this cab. Probably one of my Favs of all my cabs thus far. I'm also in Love with this material!!!

Thanks for looking. Blessed Be Ye!
Steve

It almost looks like it could be mushroom jasper.

Does the Wyoming Dendritic stuff paint your hands black? I have something similar that I routinely have to rinse off just to see what I'm doing...

:)THANKS YOU GUYS!

You sure make it fun to post stuff here, and I appreciate your comments and kind words.
I would love to get more of that Biggs! It is so fun to work.
free4rms....the flash makes it look lighter than what it actually is.
arkansan...yep! It paints my hands, my water, my splash guards..evrything black. I chose that one to be the last of the night. I do like it though!
Thanks again for the sweet comments.

I'm jealous that you can find rocks and slabs at yard sales. Its an extremely rare find here in PA.
