KCC for the month of January 2013! Rules: Nothing has changed, Entries are not required to be started in the time frame of the contest, only finished by the deadline. All entries however will still require a photo of the slab, preform and finished cab. So no cabs pulled from the drawer. 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. Again, please remember to include a pic or two of the original slab, then a pic of the preform, and finally, the finished cab. We ask that all entries submitted to this contest be unique to the RTH version of the Killer Cab Contest. I will do my best to monitor the other forums for duplicate entries, and any duplicates will be disqualified. You can enter any shape cab and your choice of mineral. Feel free to share with us what ever you like about the material, the process or what ever else you would like to share. Cabs posted here are only for the contest. We have a very generous sponsor for January, Beefjello has decided to donate a great variety of some really nice slabs. Thanks! Crazy Lace, Stone Canyon, Ocean Jasper, Silver Lace Onyx, Imperial Jasper and Hell's Canyon Wood. Chloey and I are already staring each other down Some nice looking slabs!! If anyone would like to sponsor any months contest, please feel free, when there is no sponsor we will keep doing our best to get the winner some material Good Luck everyone! Carleton

Great cab!! And the crystal growth in that cavity is pretty cool. Way to go Brian. Very generous and killer pieces. Just might have to carve out a cabbing time for a chance to win that I J or WC piece whichever it is.
