WOW Mike, You sure been busy. Nice set of cabs and a huge set too. Been saving your choice slabs for the cabbing. So you must have found these in the "woodpile" you went to? grin Look really good. Patience paid off for you.

Great slabs n cabs! I'm also intrigued by #10 - what is it? No 1 is great too. It looks a little like one I cut a while ago now ...

Nice work Mike! What's the rock in the 10th picture? Mike,the 10th photo (# 8 too) is from a busted and cut Ammonite (From Montana) kind of experimenting with this material... Beautiful stuff to work with..
