Just got some Florida coral in the mail. Should make some nice cabs.   Pics aren't the best, only decent lighting is the halogens over the dining/beading table. Now as soon as I can get into the garage to do some cutting... Lee |

You're welcome Lee:). I figured you made such pretty cabs that you should try your hand at those:). 2 of the colors came from JamesP, because I didn't have such a large assortment of my own. The really red one in the middle is what James calls 'nuclear' from my overcook:P. But!!! It should cab up fine:). Remember that the neatest colors come from near the skin, and here are 2 of my very quick rough shaping efforts. They are getting smashed in the tumbler right now, but they are holding up... no fractures:).  (the lavender colored ones are all James'. They are a pale purple, but pretty -it's the piece next to the red one in your pix)  What you want to do is grind the white coral part away, and it should give you a little coral 'window' like my first one, in an interesting shape. The lower cab had no coral white bits, but the paler colors don't need coral windows, they should be very pretty colored cabs anyway. |
