That's beautiful John, unique shape too! Cabbing on a flat lap by hand is a lot of fun as long as you don't value fingernails!

That's a sweet cab John! Dop sticks I think were designed on flat laps lol. It kills me too trying to work without them.

Awesome shape and stone John! I am going to be working some Lace up this weekend. Another one of my favorites. Yours can serve as an inspiration to get me motivated. steve

Very impressive!!!
I know a few old timers who only cabbed with their fingers...and their stuff is incredible.
Of course their fingers are now lil nubby things and they have no feeling above their knuckles...
Keep it up!

On the wheels I use... it is by hand only.....I think the wheels being vertical helps on that... The flat lap really has no edges so I guess that is where I see the challenge....John

Looks good. Do you have a pic on a plain background. The crystal is distracting for me...
