Hi All, Here are a few cabs I recently finished. I hope you enjoy looking at them. A lady in our rock club had this piece of Montana agate with a bird (heron?) in it. She asked me to cab it for her, so I took a picture before I gave it back to her. This piece is extremely thin. Another Montana agate with a bison (bull ?) in it. An Ochoco agate I dug earlier this month (backed with dark green obsidian). It is about 2 1/2 inches tall. Will probably become a bolo tie cab. Backlit: Another Montana that is unusual: A Dryhead agate or Teepee Canyon (not sure): Agate from remote area in central Oregon: A lapis with a little turquoise inserted where the fracture used to be: Red drusy from the Toutle (WA) area. Sides and back are polished, ready for groove-wrapping. I just put this one in because I had never seen red drusy before. Arizona moss agate: A lapis with crystals & pyrite left on (at bottom). You can't tell from this picture, but there is a lot of pyrite at the bottom. Thanks for looking!

lots of really distinctive work there. Love the red druzy. Clever you to insert the turquoise in the lapis crack, it looks lovely! Leaving the pyrite edge in the last one is neat, too. just a great collection of unique pieces. Thanks for the show!
