I like your contest entry the best but the first one is also excellent.

Your first cab coulda, woulda, shoulda been a tough contender for the competition.

And your third cab is fun: I see four different faces depending on which two orb-eyes I focus on.

Wow! Too bad ya can't put more than one in the contest! I would have to say my favorite was the first one though. Talk about a tough cab to work with and not break.

That one's pretty special my friend!

Thanks for all the comments. The first one was on the top of my list. I have a habit of picking the wrong one out of my group so I lean on my wife a lot for the decision. In fairness, the first one did not really qualify. The hole does not go all the way through. I think a few minutes working on the back with the flat disc would have taken care of that though.

Wow fantastic job #one I believe your right time on flat lap would have done it. I’m going to go with live edge as favorite. To be honest I would like to see that one in a silver setting myself. All are fantastic. Thx for sharing
