Nice Hearts Jeremy! I haven't tried one of those shapes yet...is it hard??? Cuz it sure looks like it would be. I need to try though. I love the Brazilian and the 1st unknown is my most favorite. Thanks for sharing...they are really great. Steve

Jurrasic, those hearts are just awesome! How did you do it? Are you going to wrap them or? Again, just beautiful.

You must have a real steady hand! They are all beauties but that Grave Yard plume or whatever it is is just awesome. Perfect shape for that one!

All the hearts are great, but the flame jasper really jumps out for me! Where does that material come from?

Sweet! That Brazilian is jaw-dropping! Are you using convex wheels to work these on?

They,re all fabulous!
I did one a while ago and I'm not sure I'd try it again on belts, maybe a trip to the shop to work the Titan would be in order

perfect shape, shine and overall composition. i've tried a few hearts but i have a lot of problems getting the "v" at the top right with the Genie.
good work, Jonje!!!

Thanks for all the comments.
Woody I believe the flame jasper comes from Africa. Titania these were all done on a conventional machine with 2 diamond wheels and diamond belts.
The hearts do take a little longer to do than standard cabs.

i also think the hearts are tricky. I made 3 of them and it was difficult getting them even on the sides by the "v". I did use the side of the wheels to help me out.
you did a great job on all of them,

The back lit and the flame are particularly nice. I think I'd hang the Brazilian in a window. Nice work! Tony
