Hey...it's you and I who are supposed to be the "knuckle-draggers" in our relationships...not our wives! LOL

Make a ring that goes over a few fingers. Be like knuckle duster. Every wife needs one of those (when she goes out).
Your cabs are lovely. Thanks for sharing

jasoninsd. It’s thick enough that I think I could groove wrap it. I need to get a groove cutter.

perkins17. If you’re ever in the Silver Valley, let me know. I would be happy to get you on the CabKing. I’ve been wanting to try two people on it. It’s definitely wide enough for one person on grind and rough sanding with the other person working on fine sand/polish.

Thanks greig . I don’t know why I make those large cabs. They put a smile on my face though.

rockjunquie. Those Kentucky agates take an incredible polish. That was my first one. I need to look for more. That stuff is cool.

Gotta love the door knocker Crazy Lace! Very nice cabs, Starguy!

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."

You got a real nice capture on the Picasso marble and crazy lace. That's not too hard to do with Picasso, but a real challenge with crazy lace, at least for me.

How did that Noreena polish? I can't get mine past a matte finish, which I blame on the material. Someday I'll buy some different rough and find out if the blame might lie closer to home.

Thanks for sharing.
