1. Tahoma — 33 x 30 mm Rummaging through a box of old, unremarkable, small Tahoma pieces, I spied a sweet little slabette. How did I manage to pass this over so many times?
2. Pruheart — 29 x 24 mm It looks like a cabbage cab to me, but I like it.
3. Arizona Sunset Jasper — 35 x 26 mm Purchased the slab on eBay and expected some great cabs. This was the third cab I cut and the only reasonably good one. The yellow and red colors on the others turned to dark mustard on chocolate. It turned out to be a one-cab-slab. I do like the breccia lines.
4. Cathedral Agate — 31 x 24 mm I'm at the end of this wonderful material. Just one last, small cab remaining to cut. This one is a custom ovoid cut to maximize the available blue agate.
5. Crazy Lace — 35 x 34 mm Cut for this pattern, it suggests to me a graphic image of a fish or other animal that might have been painted or carved by an indigenous artist.
6. Unknown — 28 x 26 mm Not much to write home about, but I wish I knew. Prudent or Pruheart? Or a distant cousin? Cut from rough that came from a box purchased from Tony.
7. Petrified Sycamore — 30 x 20 mm Last and least, a humorous cab. Well, there's nothing really funny or particularly remarkable about the cab, but the lighting made me smile. Interpreting the two light spots as eyes, and the dark and white bottom areas as the upper and lower lips, to me the cab kind of looks like Mitch McConnell. No? Well, maybe it's just me ...
