I think I might have tossed it rather than even attempt the rescue! Good on ya!

Beautiful save!

Robin

"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."

Yikes! I usually have a minor meltdown when I lose a rock at this stage. It is very artistic the way you saved it. It kind of reminds me of those paintings from the 1980's where they split a canvas in to 3 different paintings and then framed and hung them next to each other. Some times it is a greater effect.

I know that after a bunch of swearing that I would have just settled on three small freeform cabs myself.

Gorgeous stone @hookedonrocks!

Just for the record - yes I'm blond and confused - are we looking at a "save" where the stone broke and now it's smaller and a different shape than intended? Or are those repaired fractures?

The bottom one looks clearly like a natural healed displaced fractures typical of the material (smart)

Tommy,
Misleading i am at best.

The top and bottom broke off this cab
The lines you see now are all healed, and like you
Said, typical of this material.

Ps. Do your curtains match your carpet?

With PJ, it’s quite common to end up with a different-than-intended cab. Nicely done.
