Hi all

You know to make a chopped salad you need to start with a little cabbage....

Some recent cabs...

Gorgeous cabs, Craig!

Out of all 10 cabs, I like 10 of them the best!

"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."

Craig those cabs are gorgeous! The finish and polish is perfect!

I vote for wetland with trees on that Owyhee Picture Jasper.

I slabbed some thundereggs over the last couple days and was going to start looking for cab examples. Thanks for starting my search. Love it!

All are fine but the Willow Creek and Botswana stand out for me.

I usually don't go for just a salad - but this time I'd make an exception if I had to pick just one.

You mean eye candy. Love them all, but a few really stand out including the bot- love those bots.
