Here are a few new cabs. They vary a lot in shape and type but they were the preforms that were "next up" in my cabbing box.

Willow Creek Jasper
I cut this one from a fragment of a slab. I almost decided to make it into 2 stones but now I'm glad I didn't.

Stone Canyon Jasper
This was supposed to be a much larger cab but due to hidden fractures it evolved into this little pear shape.

Pink Imperial Jasper Heart
I haven't cut a heart shape in many years. This particular material suggested that shape to me so I had a go at it. There's lots of room for improvement - they're harder to cut than I remember.

Thanks for looking and have a great holiday weekend.

3 beauties! Hard to pick a favorite, but I think the Willow Creek nudges out the Imperial by a hair.

Those hearts are dang hard to cut. I think you did a great job on yours especially since you haven't cut one in a long while.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

Great cutting, Rick. I think that your heart is superb. It looks like the heart is emerging from swirling clouds, or that a cloth veil is falling away to reveal it. The heart's arcing lines seeming to disappear into the clouds/cloth really makes the illusion work.

Thanks Gary. I'm glad you noticed that effect; it was why I decided on that shape.
