That is some great lookig stuff John.
I love it.
You remember who you got it from?
That is a great Cab too John.
You get those angles by hand on your grinder?
They are real straight and they look perfect. Great Job Buddy!
I'm still waithing for that grinder/saw/Lap to come up.
I'm still in my Dremel mode.
Hopefully I can unload a few of those soon.
Keep at it buddy, it's great therapy!

that does look like some great stuff, sands. i cut something up similar to that color today, some slabs i got from Brett. (thanks again, Brett).
i like that little sneaky piece in the first picture of that nice little cab of snowflake obsidian. nice shape there.
thanks for the peek, sands, good luck with all the crap that is going on,

John, that is really beautiful. Great job on the cabs! You are just getting better and better at those freeform cabs. Do you have plans for what you are going to do with all of them that you have cut? Or is the joy in the cutting?
