Pretty nice. Well worth the effort I'd say. Nice shape and great color.

[@spwinaustin]

Thanks, it was a fun one to work on!

Beautiful cabachon Scott. ❤❤ But, you "exorcised" the ghost that was on the slab! Sacrifices have to be made I guess...😅

[@spwinaustin]

I always get a little nervous when I’m cutting out ghosts. 😩

Nice cab and material! I've been cabbing some low-grade fordite for Christmas gifts. I've never tried to dome the stuff, just sand it flat by hand. It is brittle so it pretty much decides what shape it is going to take and then I just CA glue it to seal it and strengthen it.

[@spwinaustin]

Never worked with fordite but I do like what I’ve seen of it. Thanks as always for watching!

Very pretty! As ALWAYS!! AWESOME JOB! May I ask what you would call the black in this piece? Would those be considered Dendrites or just parts of the Jasper design. I find some similar here was sure how to describe the black in the. So, I was curious of your opinion. I like the shape too! gets old sometimes all the same ole ovals, rounds ect ect . They are beautiful too but like see diff ones, I favor freeforms myself.

[@spwinaustin]

Hi Arlene, thanks so much for the kind words! I’m no geologist so I can’t say for sure what the mineral is but my guess would be just part of the Jasper 🤷‍♂️. Dendrites look different to me. Thanks so much for watching!😁

[@RockSolidPassion]

@@spwinaustin OK thanks, I was kinda thinking the same but wasnt sure.

Question about your wheel configuration. I see you have your 2 sintered wheels on the nearest insides to the left and right. Is this because of the weight distribution closer to the bearing? Or just your preference? It's intriguing

[@spwinaustin]

Hi, thanks for watching! It’s definitely for weight distribution.

[@TomLarose-m7c]

@spwinaustin that is a great idea. Love all your videos
