Hi Sarah,

    Amber would probably be best suited for cabbing.  So you want to look
    into how to cab. There will be a nominal investment of equipment and
    time to learn the methods used to make nice cabs. 

    I don't cab so it's hard for me to say exactly what is required or
    what to buy (other than the general 'a cabbing machine, and the
    laps'). 

    Not to sound negative but my experience has been that round/oval cabs
    are almost as cheap to buy as they are to cut after factor in the
    cost of time and materials.
