Finished this one this morning, I think it turned out decent. You can see where the stone undercut and has a few pits, but I wasn't going to waste it. I still like the cab, it's a beautiful stone even with it's imperfections. Or maybe because of the imperfections.  Thanks for looking.

I like that a lot, Mike. The stone and the wrap. Man, looking at this, you can really see how far you've come.  |

That stone is OUTRAGEOUSLY awesome. Can't stop looking at it. |

Thanks, I like it, too, brybry. Here's a picture of it that shows the colors a little better. Different background, maybe? Anyway, it has a lot of different shades of blue...  |

The wrap and the cab both look great my friend! It's pretty amazing the two different color schemes that show up in the two different pics! |

Unfortunately, all of the areas with the brown undercut so there is in by no stretch of the imagination a smooth surface.  But I was still happy with the cab and the wrap- I suppose if I ever sell it I'll be sure to disclose that in the description.

I've worked a lot of material lately that didn't allow for that mirror like surface we're all wanting. Sometimes you just have to accept that's what the rock wanted. Label it as "textured surface".  |

That's beautiful Mike. Just my humble opinion but not everything has to have a perfect shine, contrast is good also.

That's a stunning cab and wrap, miket! The pits are normal in the brown stuff in Needles Blue. Nothing you can do about it unless you stablize it and that stone doesn't need no stinkin' stabilizing.  |

Thank you, Robin! I was wondering if putting it in the vibe is what caused it I really do like Needles Blue Agate, maybe some day I'll get more... |

That is a very cool material!
I really like the minimal wrap to showcase that great stone and shape!
