I am a bit worried about undercutting- has anyone worked this material before? Thanks for looking!

I've never worked it, but it sure looks it's going to be a purty cab!

"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."
~ C.S. Lewis

Not sure about tumbling, but I suspect it will be fine. That's gonna be a bold cab! Nice shape, too.

Thanks, Tela, that gives me hope!

Someday I'll move on from tumbling the cabs, hopefully...

I really like the orbs and thought the larger one in the center would stand out the best. Of course I freeformed the shape, like all of them.

You picked an excellent shape for the pattern.
