Im new to this board, been houndn all my life, but just recently got serious. My wife and I do foster care, and I find this hobby really interests these boys. Most have pickd up pretty rocks, but few have ever took it too the next level. I need to get into cab making, but I m bein a nervous nelly. I have a tumbler, and some of my best tumbled has been pet wood. Heres a run down of rest of equipment: 1) 14" slab saw 2) Lortone combo unit with 6" saw 3) Lortone sander with two expando wheels 4) One leather polisher 5) A buffer that Im experimenting with. By that I mean Ive seen pet wood that has been polished on the rough side. Im hopin to be able to ploish that with the buffers. Kay, nuff said, Ill shut up. Still surfn this site, but it looks pretty kewl. Later Clyde

Welcome aboard Clyde. Sounds like you're all set up for some serious cabbing. The 14" saw is a big plus too. Enjoy the board, and if you have any questions, ask them. There's always someone on here to give you answers.

Since you like wood, try "windowing" the ends of smaller pieces. Just dome the ends but leave the rest intact as a specimen. I'm guessing the kids will be much more impressed than with a cab. Welcome to the forum.
