;Dhere's the latest in my cabbing madness! ;D
After posting the ones I did lastnight, I was a bit disappointed in the quality of my workmanship. Lots of scratches that showed up after i posted pics.

I decided that I needed to take my time today, and really focus on getting a better polish. There are a few that I posted earlier, that i need to re-work..but that's almost like fixing somebody elses work; although it's mine, I still don't like doing it.
I was able to do 5 cabs today, and i have about 6 or so dopped and ready when I get back. I was also focusing on making me a new necklace, because the one I've been wearing, the string finally broke, and i thought it was time for a change. BTW..it was a cab (boulder opal) Sands did for me a while back. It's been around my neck for at least a year.
1st up...Brazilian Agate

#2 Condor Agate

#3 Owyhee Jasper

#4 Condor Agate

#5 Laguna Agate

My decision for my necklace candidate......

Thanks for looking! It was a Fun day...and I won't be doing anymore until at least mid-August. Headed to Washington tomorrow morning for work. TAKE CARE EVERYONE!!! I'll Miss You Guys!

Love the Owyhee and the Laguna! And, of course, all of them. Steve, I can't believe you are letting work get in the way of what is important ... binge grinding

My guess is you are really headed off on a fishing trip! T

Work instead of getting splashed and grinding? NEVER!!! At least pick up a rock or two while you're in Washington...

The Condor. They're all great but I'm partial to condors. Be safe. Condor

Thanks Guys!

I'm just waiting for my ride. I appreciate all the nice compliments, it sure makes me feel good! ;D
I'll take pics and hopefully find a few rocks! I just got to talk the rest of the crew to go rockhunting instead of fishing. Of course...where there's a river...there's rocks too!
