After a super sweet vacation, I got down to some cabbing the other day. It had been a long time! Nothing special, just getting back into the swing. DSC 5265: DSC 5264: DSC 5263: DSC 5262: DSC 5261: DSC 5259: DSC 5258:

"Nothing special, just getting back into the swing." Right lol! These are all fantastic, both in terms of looks and finish, but as well as quality of stone - top notch. Keep "getting back into the swing" because I want to see what happens when your back

Yeah... "nothing special" she says... I beg to differ. I love the second from the bottom - covelite? ... and of course Billy's ME is always a show stopper. I've been hoarding the remainder of what he sent me - I take it out and lick it every now and then. I think it's time to cut another cab from it though

Turned out to be one of the better ones I have cut- very little pitting.

If that is not the best Rock & Roll song of all time, it's in the top 3!!
Of course it has to be played loud!!!

I was singing the song even before I opened your thread. Nothing lonely about that group of cabs!! Beautiful set, I especially like the 3rd one down!
