first time working with noreena and really enjoy working it with the dremel. just wanted to share one I made late last night that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I was originally envisioning a humpty dumpty character wrapped up in barbed wire causing him to bleed out. (odd I know, but just what I saw in the slab) unfortunately some unnoticed flaws popped up so had to adjust humptys shape a bit. still happy with how it turned out. tho I'm not sure which way I like the orientation best. be interested to hear from you all which way you prefer. bigger on bottom or bigger on top. here is the cab   thanks for looking and appreciate any feedback ! |

I'm happy that you rescued Humpty Dumpty because that's a great looking cab. Usually I don't care for much of the grayish white, but your barbed wire and blood have my eyes traveling back and forth and up and down in admiration of the pattern.

Great job on that cab! Sorry I can't help with orientation. I can't decide which way I like it better, either.  |

Great job! I like both orientations - for my eyes, bigger on top accentuates the white area, bigger on bottom makes the barbed wired stand out more, a different feel for each but equally enjoyable.

That’s a great cab! I like smaller end up myself.

I prefer the small end up - those proportions somehow look better to me. Looks like you got an exceptional polish for this material.

I'll go with small end up, but it really doesn't matter, they both look good.

thanks for the kind words and input everyone! small end up is how I originally planned for it and seems the consensus is that way is better. thanks again for the feedback!

Looking good! I can't unsee a red deer walking up a hill when the wide side is up so that's my vote. |

What a beauty! As for the orientation, depends whom it is adressed: big end up masculine, big end down feminine.

Is the light blue/green tint in the matrix or is it my phone screen?

I don't know how I missed this but I'm glad it got bumped!
That's a beautiful cab, I love the barbed wire look.
Had to look again to see the deer and sure enough there it is.
As far as which end up, I'm in the I can't decide camp.
Great work!
