I haven't been cabbing much lately, but finally got around to it tonight. I got three done, a tiger eye rectangle, an oval dino bone (I took your advice rockjunquie!), and a freeform self collected "something".

Freeform that I feel like is an oolite:

thanks for looking! I'm going to keep them coming. I didn't realize I missed it so much until now.

Thanks you. That "something" just might be my favorite of the batch as well. I've also got a couple offcuts of it tumbling so we'll see how they turn out.

The rectangle is perfect- not always easy. But, WOW, what is that polka dotty one. I really like that! I'm intrigued. Can we get a better picture?

Thank you, the shape is actually pretty close to the original stone. I originally thought it was whale bone and that was one of the reasons why I originally cut it.

Thank you. I'm not too good at square and rectangle shapes yet, but I'm working on it. That's my favorite of the batch as well. I actually originally thought it was whale bone but I'm not so sure now. I'll see about getting you guys a better picture.
