Title: New cabs
Post by: irockhound on May 21, 2017, 11:24:30 AM

After gifting the contest cab I thought I would make some new cabs in the same general shape.  I picked out a nice Botswana and a piece from my Stone Canyon trips.  The Corals are from the several hundred pounds I bought for $2. a pound before he discounted it to about 1.75 a pound at Quartzsite a couple years ago.  The last in a piece of the Chrysocolla Plume I dug in the Cady Mountains.

I had started another Condor to replace the first but it broke in grinding on a hidden fracture and I am making 2 out of it now.
