Ok, here is two of my latest that come out good enough to show,lol!!!

And, I am trying to get in the habit of adding something to the photo for size comparing. Still not real happy with how the photos come out. Practice,pratice,eh?

This is from a piece of slag glass given to us. Unfortunately, the photo does not do it justice. In order to get a really smooth finish, I run it through the vibe tumbler after cabbing.

And, here is a piece of obsidian..

Thanks for looking, hope ya'll enjoy these.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
