As of this very moment I still do not know which cab belongs to which person so I would like to congratulate everyone who participated - finding ANYTHING less than perfect with any of the cabs was like splitting hairs. I personally would be proud to have produced the overall quality of ANY of these cabs out of such a challenging material. These are the result of my visual examinations. Again, it was like splitting hairs. These results will be combined with the results of the public voting poll and 1st and 2nd place winners will be announced. Contestants you have been fantastic in keeping quiet about who belongs to what so please be patient for one more day and I'll do my best to put the announcement thread together by Saturday night. Overall appearance in-hand, 20 points possibleSurface - Smooth as the material will allow, clean and free of polish Shine - deep and consistent commiserate with the material Cabochon Design, 20 points possibleDesign - creativity of capture Shape and Size - uniqueness/difficulty, good use of available material Technical Aspects, 60 points possibleStability - Domed front, flat back, no wobble Dome - uniform shape, absence of flat areas Symmetry - symmetrical shape or creative freeform Girdle - uniform height without flat spots <or> edge to edge dome Rear edge - effective bevel or sharp without chipping Scratches - visible to naked eye at arms length | surface | shine | design | shape | stability | dome | symmetry | gridle | rear edge | scratches | totals | #1 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 98 | #2 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 89 | #3 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 9 | 10 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 9 | 90 | #4 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 10 | 8 | 10 | 7 | 9 | 10 | 89 | #5 | 9 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 7 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 10 | 88 | #6 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 8 | 7 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 9 | 10 | 92 | #7 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 8 | 10 | 8 | 9 | 9 | 94 | #8 | 8 | 9 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 7 | 8 | 8 | 86 | #9 | 9 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 7 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 10 | 94 | #10 | 8 | 8 | 10 | 10 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 8 | 9 | 8 | 88 |

Gotcha, yeah I wanted to do something like this - 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd etc. votes but the Proboards poll system can't handle it so we just went with what we got.

Tommy - I've been dying to see how you were going to break down the criteria for the visual "in-hand" judging. You came up with quite a few categories! Thank you so much for being willing to take on a very difficult task!! Is there any chance you could bring the pictures back so we can see which results go with which cabs? I really am very impressed with what everyone put out there for this one!
