Can't even complain about this gorgeous Fall weather we are having. Worked a short day today and decided to finish up some cabs that have been sitting for a while. First of all...just a picture of what I get to look at from my rock shed. It's kind of ironic, because this is the mountain my oldest brother and myself published a book about. Now I get to look at it everyday. A BIG Mossy Heart for ED! Green Moss ( I believe this is from Snowdog a LONG time ago!) Cocoxenite in Amethyst Morrisonite Jasper (one of the best I've ever worked) Tahoma Jasper from Woody (I think it looks like a framed ocean scene) unknown Plume from Robert (box I bought from him here) I thought this looked like the sun's rays so I formed it to this shape Thanks for looking. And a BIG Thanks to Krystee for giving me some polishing advice and tips! I just need to try Diamond Paste on Leather and see if that helps get the miracle shine she achieves.

Beautiful area you live in Steve! The cabs are wonderful too. I don't think I've ever seen Cocoxenite pop like that one.

What a great set! That Morrisonite is fan-diddly-tastic!! Hopefully our triple digit days are winding down, I'm ready to get back out in the desert!

I didn't know you could live in heaven and still post on the board. LOL! Beautiful and, I'm sure, inspiring view. The cabs certainly are inspiring. I couldn't pick one fav. They are all awesome!

Great shapes Steve and some awesome cabs. The green moss looks like horse canyon to me. No way to pic a fave. I didn't know you moved but that's an incredible view.
