I was able to finish some of the cabs I've been working on; which seems like forever now. I can handle the rain (yesterday) but not the snow(now ). Tahoma Jasper. This came from a piece I got from Charlie(chasfire) I am very disappointed about the shape..but I have alot more of the material left to improve. Henry Mountain Wood Royal Sahara Jasper. I got this from Tony(catmandewe) as a suprise which he left in my mailbox. My 1st of this material..and I love it! Unknown Utah Moss. (Green River area) One of my favs! Laguna Agate Hawkseye. (I think) Leopardskin Jasper. A free-form I won off e-bay. 1st time working this material too. Echostone set. I'm not into Pink..but I like these little pinkies! Blue Eden Wood dome polished. The close-up shows actual worm burrows. Really Cool! THANKS for LOOKING! It was an awesome weekend. Can't wait until Spring. Steve Looking through these pictures again..it loooks like I still have cerium oxide residue on some of them. I guess I gotta wipe them down a little better.

Excellent work!! I really like the Utah Moss, it has excellent symmetry and perfect edges. The Echostone pieces are beautiful. I've never seen or heard of those.

Very nice Steve. The Utah moss is awesome. If you don't like the Tahoma, re-cut it.

Excellent job on cabs there Steve. Like how you combined forum with material. Hard to choose but like the Tahoma jasper, the moss and the Echostone.
Thanks for posting

Alright Steve, you are so holding out on me!!!! I have been whining about not having fire engine red material, and you posted like 4 things, and then pink echostones? ?? :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: Man this is a nice batch of work, I am glad you had a chance to cab!!! I guess the Henry Mtn, Wood, the moss, and the laguna are my favs!!! That laguna is sweet, what bright color . The pink echostones are cool. Tahoma jasper is really pretty, I noticed a few people posting that material, I think the shape is fine, it looks masculine. Great to see you cabbing!!! Amber

That is a great bunch of cabs; I can't pick a fav, I like the colors in the RSJ and the reds in the unkown moss and laguna are super.
