Most of this load are cabbing scraps. Lots of smalls so really no ceramics needed this time. I really ran this batch to get the two cabs polished up. this material does not take a real good shine but still looks great with its satin sheen and didnt seem to frost the edges like some soft stones do. of course there's a few flint ridge in the mix Jaspers Montana agates This photo shows the shine of the batch a little better and is truer color And here are the cabs that started on the genie last week and finished in the loto this week Thanks for looking Chuck

Those cabs are incredible. I have to get some Montana agate one of these days.
Is the stuff in the second picture from the cabinet knobs you made? It looks like some sort of wood. Cool stuff!

Fine set Chuck. The polka dotted Montana is great. The shine is beyond any that i can do in my rotaries. Proof that there is shiny, and then there is shinier.
