Well, Elizabeth cut me loose so I'm gonna see if I can step it up a little. Same material, next slab over. Bigger is better, right?  The new contest cab   The slab  I can tell that was an absolute pain in the ass to cab. I've cut a similar shape before and it took some time to get the dome dialed in. Good cut on that. |

This never showed up as posted for me under recents. So I’ll give this a bump if others didn’t see that this is up and going.

Wow, the winner looks amazing (and amazingly sharp, that's looking like a surgical tool)

All the cabs are pretty cool. I love the pattern in the rocky butte. The pietersite was sick, my personal favorite. I also really liked #1 #2 and #7. Also gotta give props to the coral. I’ve cut similar shapes and those are a pain to get good domes on.
