Alright folks, you know the drill by now!

Welcome to the first Month long RTH Killer Cab Contest! I hope the month long time frame gives more members a chance to participate.

Entries do not have to be started within the time frame of the contest, only finished by the deadline. All entiresl still require a photo of the slab, preform and finished cab.

Remember, entries submitted to this contest must be unique to the RTH version of the Killer Cab Contest. I will monitor the other forum(s) for duplicate entries, and any duplicates will be disqualified.

Entries are cabs only. Completed during this monthly contest period. Not cabs pulled from the drawer.

We include a pic of the original slab, then a pic of the preform, and finally, the finished cab.

Please try to remember at least a pic or two of the original slab and or preform.

Feel free to share with us what ever you like about the mineral, and or what ever else you would like to share.

You can enter any shape cab and your choice of mineral.

Things like intarsias, carvings, jewelry, and composite type cabs can not be entered in an effort to keep the contest somewhat fair by just entering free form style cabs.

Cabs posted here are only for the contest.

Now get cabbing!

OK, my turn to join this months efforts.

Material, Indonesian Jasper. Extremely hard takes a fantastic shine yet punishes you for every scratch you overlook on your first attempt. My mistake thinking that the higher grids would take care of the problem and had to go back all the way to 400grid double-time and then back up every single step.

In the end though, I think it was worth it; then again, you be the judge.
The rough

The shine

And the best shots showing the color

Have a great week, and keep the entries coming.
Thanks for looking, Kurt

I can see I'm going to have to get into the super cool reserve stash slab drawer to even have the slightest chance in this contest. Lee

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.” —Friedrich Nietzsche

Haven't cut a cab in a while. Might have to raid my basement special stash. Got a few slabs that I've been saving for something special.
