Another stellar batch my friend!  All the cabs look spectacular, but the Montana is jumping out at me as the nicest of the bunch. The shape you chose accents the pattern in the stone very well! Of the pictures, I like #5 the best. I like how you setup the shot to capture the pattern flowing in both the cab and the background piece along the same linear pattern. |

Glad you noticed that (photo #5). That was no accident. I was just having fun and seeing if anyone would catch it.  |

They are all nice, but I like this the best
It's really a stellar cab- along with the backdrop. But, I do like that rainbow wood, which is what I think it is and the triangular MT Aggie- which is a great pattern. |

The Ohio Flint is really something. If it had a fancy name like "pastelite" it would be a classic American lapidary material. "Flint" just doesn't sound sweet to the lapidary's ear. That's my theory at least. |

WOW!!! That Montana! Gorgeous!
Isn't that peanut jasper a sort of naturally recomposed pet wood? it looks like that.
The Ohio flint is also beautiful, almost forgot to mention it 'cause the Montana took the stage.

Thanks for the education. |

"Petrified particle board" -- I like it. |
