With all the gorgeous cabs being posted, I just had to start grinding and practicing so I chose rocks from my beach rock pile that I keep outside. Here are four that looked pretty interesting and I think they are impostors. Please keep in mind that they are pre preforms. lol. Iwannabeaunikite wishfulthinkingwillowcreek inbredoceanjasper wishicouldthinkofwhatiwannabe The whole group was rounded up and brought in for questioning. At this point they were drying out so the interrogation should be easy Thanks for looking.

I can't be sure but I think the green one did it still as the blood stains the yellow one was an innocent bystander and the other two have already done hard rock time
nice preforms-- but what do you mean ? are you going to finish them on a wheel or tumble?

;DThat was funny Ed, I'll be cabbing them. I just have to get the drum, grits and polish. I did them quick on the 80 and 220 grit wheel and then hit them with 1200 soft wheel that I kind of ruined doing a dumb thing as a newbie so they still need a lot of work. lol

Thank goodness they've been brought in for questioning. I saw their faces on a wanted poster and was shakin' in my boots!
LOL. You got a great looking crew there, Lori! Thanks for the fun! JO

Those are really nice. I think the wishicouldthinkofwhatiwannabe one wants to be a planet: it reminded me of Jupiter. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the final product.

Lori your beach stones are pretty nice. The one I cabbed came out very nice and I still have the others to get too. Good to see you are grinding.
