[ScarlettoSara]

Doug:) I love the look and feel of the Imperial Jasper:)
This one is very pretty:)

Kurt - That is one strange rock - I wonder that too and about a lot of other rocks; amazing what Mother earth has made for us! Anyway, it's the fort that makes the whole thing work for me. It's because it doesn't fit in with the rest, and because of that - it all fits. Hope that made sense.

Doug - Gorgeous cab - worth the work!

Dave - Dave, what happened to your shops, or are you just opening?

Dough, sorry to hear that it fell apart, happens far to often to everyone of us. LOL

Nice recovery as you still managed a really nice layout, color-combo and your workmanship looks great overall.

Frank; I was very lucky to work with a lot of different materials over the past year and came across some fantastic combinations; but....... all in one??? Was a nice experiment.

Thanks for the support.  Every cab for me is a new experience.  Learning about materials and how they respond to the wheel.  Just finding quality material has been really difficult.  I know in another thread this was discussed but the quality of the minerals and cabs shown here are incredible.  Thanks again.

Here is my entry. From my overstocks collection. I have found several pieces i what i believe is leathers ranch plume agate. Mostly under 2# in weight. This was the slab of one of them peices;

AN idea of the preform i was going for;

And what i ended up with. One day i will get a digilat camera and stop using my phone.

[3rdRockFromTheFun]

Love the slab Shain - looks like a medieval painting of the sun or something - how gothic of you 

And of course your cabbing is mad - I love it and you did a fine job - the medieval sun would be proud! 

Those are camera-phone pictures? Sheee...t, I'm going right now to throw my Cannon out the window...

[Freeform]

Yup, its all i use. I got this nice one mainly for the camera but there is some issues. color is reproduced very well and i only crop my photos and try cab shots under bright lighting. Its a Motorola droidX2 in case anyone was wondering. Im trying to do most of my web work through it now.

[hulagrub]

Shain, very cool looking plumes! 

[tntmom]

Shain that is a BEAUT!!!!!

[tntmom]

Ok, I'm in!!!

Here is what I bought as TeePee Canyon, but a very knowledgeable friend seems to think it's DryHead.  Googled both and they look so similar that I just don't know..... guessing it could be DryHead cuz my friend has only been wrong 1% of the time :-/

And the shine... couldn't resist!  Since I bought my leather belt from John JSGems that Woody manufactures, I have been in awe.  The gloss happens in minutes rather than the hour it used to take me.... loving it!!!:

[NM Stone]

Krystee,

 I was going to join but I will never win now... Yours is amazing!!!! What a great shine. What are you putting on that new leather belt?

Doug, great first entry. Dont know what it was going to look like before it broke, but the final result is awesome.

Shain, I really like the composition of that cab.

Krystee, DANG that is a nice piece. Awesome polish, and I am a sucker for fortification agates...

[asianfire]

I'm a sucker for colors.

Shain:  fantastic work there as usual. Lots of things going on. Very interesting layout and love the proportion of moss (?) that you kept. It's giving it just the right dose of color mix.

Krystee: Is therre any material that you can not work with to perfection. Those colors are absolutely fantabolous. Cut and polished, second to none.
  If we ever want to get some votes, we need to find a pretext to call your police-station to hold you for a while. 

Keep them coming, there is always room to improve!
