Welp i finally did some cabs today....it's about dang time huh...lol....well the heat here lately hasn't helped any and seeings i don't have a AC in the rock shop i just really haven't wanted too but today was much cooler so i decided to do it. Here is pics of the before and after...these are cabs that either Granny or Gramps started but didn't finish . Now to identify them...i'm not sure what the purpleish or black ones are....that one big black one is black but while cabbing it i saw bands on the sides only and was kinda wondering if maybe it might be blue tigereye but the top is pitch black with no bands so idk . Now the last two i think i know.....lol.......iron tigereye and the last one is abilony i'm pretty sure .....all in all it was good to get back into the groove of things .....mostly here lately i have been trying to get my jewelry stock up to start selling...i have been ordering things like the case below to display and travel jewelry....i also made another jumpring braclet and matching earrings just like the pearl one but gold instead of silver and tigereye instead of pearls (still need to wire in the beads lol)
