I had a plan this weekend to get some wine stopper cabs and a few other things done for a show we are doing in a few weeks but of course my son had a different idea and we ended up spending about 4 hours working on cabs he had laid out on some of his slabs. As usual I still do the trimming and 80/220 hard wheels and let him do everything after that. I need to go back to using the sharpie across the face between wheels for him because I did have to go all the way back to the 280 wheel to fix a few. this is a good day of rock'n tiger eye I think this is amethyst lace brazilian agate unknown brazilian agate (I think) banded agate agate (not sure of what type) and here's the first labrodite I have ever done. and I salvaged a broken 30x40 snakeskin jasper and free formed this from it thanks for looking Chuck and Andrew

I love seeing y'alls teamwork. It's so sweet. Sorry, that sounds so sappy, but I'm a grandma and I get a kick outta kids and quality time. It won't be long before he won't need you to do touch ups, if you keep up this pace. He's doing really well. You can tell he loves it. That was a lot of cabs for one day.
Is that one agate a teepee canyon? (I think that's what it's called. I'm still learning my agates.)

I was not sure about that agate. it was such a small piece it would be hard to i.d. but teepee canyon or dryhead agate. I bet mel knows which one.

Great work on all but love that last Brazilian agate! You've got a great team going and if this is an indicator of the offerings, you're going to do great with the show! Cathy

The unknown, the "I think" and the "not sure" are my favorites.
