I marked the shapes on the slabs some time ago but the patterns didn't get me excited or I already had completed similar. I'll probably grind the shapes on some and work on two; an Owyhee and a Morgan Hill. I've made a lot of cabs lately and there is no point to making more except to keep up the skill level. Owyhee, Haystack Butte, Morgan Hill  |

Nothing wrong with keeping the blade sharp, keeps the skill sharper! Beautiful stones.

I really like the pattern in that tear-drop shaped Morgan Hill!
It sounds like you're looking for a challenge rather than the same ol' same ol'...

I think the pattern changed a little when grinding and sold in about a week after finishing. I do what I like and feel like doing. It's a hobby not a job. The only exception is when a cab sells and I have a preform or slab that is similar I'll work on it. I made cabs for around 20 years before selling. My business plan is buy rocks, make cabs, sell cabs and buy better rocks.

I would like to see the Haystack Butte finished please? Several years ago I was at the site, it has been reclaimed but the club wandered around and we all found a little. I have not finished any but have sawed a couple into one cab slabs.

The Haystack Butte is gorgeous! I also love the Blue Biggs triangular cab you have in your shop. It's almost like a half moon.
