Did this one tonight. I was pretty upset that it started exposing some stress fractures or whatever they are. These are not scratches...and I'm not even sure if these would disappear if I grind deeper. It's really a shame too...cuz I really like the cab! Steve

I know stress fractures aren't good when cabbing but if it makes you feel better, to me, the lines in the middle of the cab kind of match the larger lines that are in the upper right of the slab. I may be strange but I like the look especially since they are shown as a set.

Probably too deep to touch, Steve. But don't worry the cab looks fine with them. Just do what I do when I get them in my quartz. I just move the cab around in the sun until they glitter then I'm happy T

Wow! I think the fractures actually add to the appearance. Great set Steve!

The lines are kinda like wispy clouds floating over the landscape of Botswana. <grin> Just beautiful! Nancy
