here is a plate full that just came off the dop this afternoon: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/bunchocabs.jpg) and here are some close ups. this first shot is some of Stoner's opalized pet wood and a hunk of the craziest picture jasper i've ever seen (also courtest of Stoner), looks like a robin's egg, only the robin was doing acid at the time: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/stonersstones.jpg) here is a piece of mook that i got out of one of Bearcreeks grab boxes: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/mookfrombear.jpg) Connrock sent me some great stuff a while back i call this one "Morning Has Broken": ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/morninghasbroken.jpg) and here is some plume he also gave me (with flash): ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/plumewithflash02.jpg) i got back to basics with a few brazilian agates: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/brazilianpair.jpg) and here is a piece of Charolite: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/charolite30x22.jpg) there are a few pieces of turquoise you can see on the plate, my first working with this material, kind of bland compared to some of the others, finally here is a pic of some pet wood (i think that's what he said) that Stefan sent me: ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/krazyD/woodfromstefan.jpg) thanks for looking!!!

WOW! You have been busy haven't you? Excellent job on all of them. I think I'm partial to the Brazilian agates, but they all look great. You seem to get an excellent shine on your cabs. What are you using for polish?

after i polish on the 3000 grit wheel of my Genie, i buff them out with the canvas pad (that came with the unit) and 14000 diamond paste. works a treat!

You do a wonderful job - your domes look perfect. That plume agate looks fascinating - like you can drown in it!
