Congrats to the winner jasoninsd . I knew I wasn’t beating that beauty 😂. Also great cabs done by all others. Thank you my friend! I saw where the numbers were yesterday and knew it could still go to anyone! *To everyone who entered this month...they were all exceptional cabs! I do feel very lucky to have squeaked out a win!! Congratulations jasoninsd ! I'm still blown away by the fact that you found that fantastic stone yourself ... and then turned it in a masterpiece cabochon! Thank you Tommy! I was SOOO blessed to have found as many great nodules as I did over the last couple years. I haven't been able to get out to Teepee Canyon this summer, but I'm hoping to still get out before the weather turns. Fingers crossed. Teepee Canyon will always be one of my favorites to work...mainly because they've all been self-collected. Congratulations Jason!!! That's an awesome win. Thanks Tela! One of these days I'll get it wrapped! LOL Congrats, Jason! You absolutely killed it with that cab. Thank you Robin! I hardly uttered any swear words working this one! LOL

Congrats jasoninsd! Gorgeous cab and material! When I saw you post it, I knew the contest was over lol. PM me with your mailing info if you are interested in the advertised FREE box of rocks and I'll get it sent out. I was recently given two collections of rocks for free and wanted to pass along the blessing. Great entries by everyone! I'm very surprised at all the great cabs everyone produced this month. Y'all are some talented, cab cutting rockhounds!

Congratulations jasoninsd. It thought it was all over as soon as I saw your cab, then when I was 1 vote behind you are started foolishly thinking I had a chance! My only hope was that a lot of people hated orange. Congrats to everyone that entered. It was great to see that everyone received votes.

I saw when you were one behind...and I thought, "Well...here's another contest down the drain for me!" LOL It's been forever since I've been the bride instead of the bridesmaid! LOL Congratulations, a super nice one for sure. Thanks Lee!! Sometimes I get jealous over what y'all were finding out on the west coast...then I remember I need to feel blessed for what I can find out here!

Even with that instantly stunning winning cab it actually was another really tough choice this month for voting. Congrats jasoninsd ! Really pretty material and I don’t care how hard you have to dig, the fact that you can find that stuff just “laying around” (even if under several feet of hard earth) in your area is pretty awesome! 🤓 It was a fun challenge. I wouldn’t have normally worked the pieces I did because I had them relegated to the tumbling pile. You really can get some nice cabs cut even just from little scraps of materials.👍

Jasoninsd, excellent cab from super good material! How are the online sales going and what are your customers buying? Thank you Victor! Thanks for asking about the shop! I had a surge when Rob put out the video of when he and I went out hounding. He put a link to my shop...so I got a massive amount of "likes" and some good sales out of it. One of the issues I've had, ever since I started back to work, I haven't wrapped anything...so I haven't added any new inventory. Hopefully I'll get things figured out as far as "personal time" goes here soon and get some more pieces done! Congrats, Jason jasoninsd ! Fantastic cab as always!! Better watch out! I'm moving on up! hahahahahahahah. Jk of course... Thanks Peta! You bet your butt you're movin' on up! I think your cabbing machine should have showed up today in fact!! **EDIT - I just saw it's supposed to show up tomorrow. I can't keep track of time anymore! LOL Totally not surprised by the winner, but I am equally admiring all of your self collects❤️ Nice varieties! Thanks PS! You're right about the rest of the entries as well! Great job everyone, really nice entries. And congrats Jason!! Thanks Alex! I think I've still got a ways to go before I can catch up to the amount of wins you've got!! Even with that instantly stunning winning cab it actually was another really tough choice this month for voting. Congrats jasoninsd !

I care how hard I have to dig!! LOL (*Although the results really are well worth it...looking back afterward...after a week of healing! LOL)
