So I'm working on this Black Plume Agate cab and I'm having an issue. The shape is bugging me. I can't figure out how to get the right side shaped so that it doesn't look the way it does. It's hard to explain, but to me it just looks like the cut end of the slab- too straight. Any suggestions? Thanks.  |

In the right side
Take a little out of the left side

Thanks Steve, I like that. However, I think I'd like to keep more of the white in the stone- but you gave me an idea. How about something like this?  |

yep there a lot to be said for scribing a line
and doping too
but were obstinate
let the rock dictate the free form
Anyways the dry heat as run me off for now
from any mor serous grind activity
Hopefully the hearts I have to do the mantra to
Won’t require much tweaking
That only more sweating at the brow
When it already hundred ^ forty
keep on !

If you are happy with the shape, you are done. Look at it for a while an consider possible adjustments. My eye tells me to move in the left side lower half in a bit.

Fresh off the dremel app miket Beat me to it, that inside curve on the right is a good idea, I think it will still need a touchup elsewhere but it's getting close. |
