These were fun to make. I have a tendency to start out with big design ideas, but always end up with simple. I figure that is a good thing. I'm trying to incorporate the bails to fit in with the cab as part of the design.

I didn't make the cabs; I only did the silver work. Some day soon, I hope to make the cabs, too.

I'm not sure what the two cabs are. If you know, please let me know.

I know the green sticks on the cast piece are tourmaline.

This is as plain as it could be --- almost. I reticulated the silver on top.

The thing about broom casting is that I never know who the results will be. I rather like that.

Super simple, but I think it matches the stone.

Thanks for looking.
