KCC for the month of March 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 yet another generous sponsor for this contest. Dave "dbrealityrocks" has offered these fine pieces for this months contest winner. A big thanks to Dave!        |

What a great looking prize pac for the month. I have a piece of boulder opal from a nice little patch at black gate western Queensland. The first two pics are of the piece strait from my saw you can see a hint of the pattern in the first pic the other shows how you have to sacrifice good color because of sandy unstable material or in this case there was no depth to the color   Preform, a nice pattern beginning to come through, a bit of sand still on the r/h side  Finished Cab   Side view I kept the top fairly flat for 2 reasons 1 There wasn't a very thick layer of good material and 2 I want to have a try at a groove wrap and this may be a nice piece to try with  I did manage a little blue fire  back finished  Bill |

Ok... Just for fun and because it is "The Dave" sponsoring, my entry for March. This is some Burro Creek that I got from ebay. This is from a slab that I cut from the rock myself and I'm pretty proud of it. I really like the druzy in it. It really made me think of Dave when I saw it in the rock. The slab  The Preform  The cab    And just because  Cathy |

Crap, I didn't realize that there was a prize package (I didn't read)  .... Dave is already up on me by at least 2 packages. I should have cabbed a piece of granite. lol |

I finished a cab last night that Cathy suggested I enter. Is it too late to post the pictures since it's April 1st today? I need to go take some side and back shots and then I can upload them here in an hour or so?
