Dremeled, freeformed, finished in a vibe.

A few cabs plus some that I made for December's contest that I decided weren't good enough...I did learn, however, that making cabs that small isn't very fun.

OMG! Some of those are sooooo small! I really like the cotton candy...I'm man enough to work pink! The fourth pic looks like petrified wood to me. I gotta say really like the looks of that first cab!

Yeah, I think the cotton candy is almost as thin as the dime! I almost entered that one but didn't shape it as well as I would have liked.

I believe the 4th is Colla Wood and the first one I have no idea. I believe that slab came from Walt...

Nice ones. I’m going to try to work on something for the contest this weekend (weather permitting). I’ve decided to make things difficult on myself with shape, which is good for everyone else.

Nice stones, miket!

I like the first (Willow Creek?) and fifth ones best. Really pretty.

"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."
