They're all stunning!

That Imperial steals the show out of all those beauties, but the shape on that Poppy is beyond awesome. (drooling)

"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."

I love it when you post pics of your cabs!

I have to say that Morrisonite really stands out to me...but I'm really excited to see that Pietersite! I finally have a slab of that coming in the mail - I'm hoping mine will look "close" to how yours turned out!

You got three drools and a pass-out. Not to shabby. Some great material, and worked perfectly. That Morgan Hill shape is pretty cool.

Whoa!! I almost never come to the "creating cabs" section of the forums, as I am usually inundated with too many posts and can never really see much of the rest of the RTH due to spending so much time here.

But I am glad that I stopped in today! Is this like the "greatest hits" collection or something? These are exceptional. And they look LARGE too! I really like LARGE format stones. I wonder what the #2 stone is?

Thanks for sharing these!
