Friggin spectacular cabs Ed! That second wood cab looks almost like some kind of wierd palm root with those strange looking cross sections. The little green jewel is something else too. Wish I knew what kind of agate that is, never seen it before.....mel

Wow Ed...those are INCREDIBLE!!!! All 3 of them. Man, I can't wait to get my Box...that wood is stunning. I do see the little yellow guy, I think it's Spongebob after a Ding-Dong binge. It even looks like he may have been playing with some thundereggs or geodes too. Too cool Stoner! Steve

Steve Holy crap Steve, it's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read this, or I'd need a new keyboard and monitor. Great description!

I followed the bread crumbs over from the other thread. They all look great, Ed, but #2 is my favorite, with the spine and ribs.

Great cabs as always Ed. That last one is especially striking. Hmm, I don't see the yellow guy though, but he sounds like a cool character all the same. -Don

It must be those pills I'm taking. I do see the little yellow dude, but I went for the whole yellow blob. Thanks goodness you weren't drinking anything, not only would you have had to buy a new monitor and 'puter' I;d have been stoned to death and condemned from the forum because I caused Stoners Cab pictures to be on hold.

I see the little man - and it does look like Sponge Bob (although he does look a little "wrung out")
Ed I think you could put a shine on poop!..... hey, wait a minute, you did put a shine on poop!
You're my idol - when I grow up some more, I wanna be just like you and have a cabber just like yours!

KD: This is just my opinion of course but Arizona Rainbow wood is , next to palm root, the worst mangler and destroyer of saw blades I know of. The palm is hard and very tough to cut as is the Rainbow wood but in the rainbow wood, if you happen to hit a fracture, it will sometimes shatter explosively and I've had pieces wedge in the mechanism and bend or break blades several times. I always study that material very carefully when it's dry and if it looks like fractures are going to be a problem, it goes under the hammer and into the tumbler. Just not worth breaking a $350 blade no matter how pretty the wood is......mel

Mel, Thanks for the heads-up. I never knew that about Palm Wood or the Rainbow Wood. I appreciate you posting and explaining. I definitely don't want to or can afford destroying a blade. I'm gonna have to be careful when I get mine. Steve

Steve: The fractures you especially want to watch out for are those which won't be perpendicular to the blade. Usually the ones directly perpendicular to the cutting face can be cut across smoothly. Those that approach the cut at an angle or almost parallel to the direction you're cutting can hold unpleasant surprises as the piece that sometimes comes off is wedge shaped and can lodge between the spinning blade and, in my case the slab catching tray or carriage rails. Palm fiber is usually not to bad but agatized palm "root" with it's twisty bundles can be a real tough booger and just flat out stop your blade cold in it's tracks!...mel
