    Cutting and shaping amber is really very easy since it is indeed
    about the consistency of plastic. I guess it would depend on how
    much you wanted to cut as to what would be the best method. If a
    person is going to do a fair amount, a cabbing machine is extremely
    useful. If you're just going to cut a few pieces and time is not so
    important, there is every reason to avoid the cost of a machine.
    I've got several pieces of amber cut at http://www.gemmaker.com
