Here are some cabs I completed over the last three days. The group for scale Owyhee Jasper Holy Grail Pit Poppy Jasper (from Mel) Hornitas Poppy Jasper Cripple Creek: This material was just a real nice surprise. Blue Biggs The last and my favorite. Bat Cave. This one exceeded my expectations.. I'll be bringing several Riker mounts full of cabs to the Pow-wow for trading.

Classic shapes, pointy shapes, flowing shapes... you got them all there! Perfect and gorgeous! My favorite is ... are the blue biggs and the bat cave.

PS. That bat cave looks like a layered material. Have you ever cut it on the other direction?

O, this group is beautiful and I just love that Blue Biggs but If ever there was a beacon in the night, your Bat Canyon is it.

Those are gorgeous Dan! You are really pumping out some beauties! It's interesting to see the bat cave material with the black border and then with the white border. Great stuff! Garry

Once again you have left me in a quandary. I just can't seem to pick just one. I think that pillow shape Hornitas Poppy and that first Holly Grail Poppy, the Blue Biggs and the Bat Cave really jump out at you. The rest have to settle for just beautiful ;D Fran

WOW HPD another fine batch!! As much as I love that Bat Cave, I think the Biggs wins, I am just drawn to that one over and over again! The square poppy is really beautiful as well!!! That cripple creek looks good too, perfect scenes in those. Great set, thanks for sharing! Amber

Dang you cut some dandy cabs Dan! Again the bat cave is the hands down winner in my book but I do love that orange shield out of Hornitos. I even know which hole that may have come out of. When I made the Texas move, I gave away a huge boulder out of that hole that had a lot of waste and was just too big for any saw I was planning to buy. Lots of multiringed orange and red poppy from that pit and it was a booger to work as the poppy was intermingled with a real hard crystalline purple/brown jasper that was really difficult to crack or get a chisel into.....Mel

Great cabs as always. Love your freeforms. How do you keep the tips so pointy. The bat cave is my fav followed by the two hornitas.
