Cabs are dremeled and freeformed, I'll post pics over the next few days.
Thanks for looking!

These are 3 of 4 pieces of wood that Tommy sent me for September's Cabbing Contest. I'll post the one I'm entering in that thread.

This one I like but it developed some pits...

I like this one, too, but I wasn't crazy about the shape that I picked.

And I love this material, not sure what it is. Actually I'm not sure what any of them are! I decided not to enter this because several pieces of it went out to other participants. My daughter wants this one but she doesn't want a pendant so I'm not sure what to do with it...

There’s still time to rework the palm root, if you’re not happy with it.

Nice cabs, Mike! The colla wood is off the charts.

Two Prairie Agates Not sure if this one would be a Fairburn or just a fortification agate. Lots of cracks...
