Roy I see you are seriously in this one and I guess it is, as you said, "on like Donky Kong"

Kurt I am totally in love with everything about your entry.

I'll put an entry in this time , though since I haven't a saw at the moment I had to pic a piece that didn't need too much shaping.

This is a piece of Mintubi opal that I thought had some potential, ssshh it came in a $30 bottle!!don,t tell the miner or he may want it back, sometimes I get lucky.

LOL Great stuff. I never tried opal, that stuff is either too small for me or I simply can't afford it.

oh no you dont stu ! you better find something good to cab cause it's on like donkykong

Well I have been off the grinder since the last contest and my fingers are pretty well healed up. I have decided to use a dop stick, going forward, after seeing how well I was able to remove those nasty scratches from my last Condor Agate.
Roy, I being at times brain dead, thought today was the 31st. LOL Today is only the 30th so with a little luck I just might be able to sneak some time on the wheels seeing as though "It is on like Donky Kong" LOL ;D

Ohhh Jim, no problem, we got 5 pretty much equal cabs here. So pending on once taste, we might not have a strong frontrunner this time round.

(although my favorite thus far might prove otherwise)

Just think about it, in the other contest we got 12 super-strong entries with a day to go.

Love those contests and already ogling some slabs for the next round.

Well it is the 31st and the warden has had me on 24 hour watch. If the entry period ends at midnight that leaves me about 10 hours. I will get my ass into my man today even if I have to slip a few melotonins into her tea. LOL

Well I didn't have a chance to get into this one, but I still would like to do my part in voting.
Where is the voting poll for this contest?

Also is there going to be another contest?
I see no thread indicating such a contest for April.
