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. I have a small request, because I am not always 100% confident in identifying all materials, if everyone could do their best to remember to ID the material (even if it may seem obvious) it would help me at times, I get concerned I will make a mistake if I guess when I am creating the poll. If you have no idea on the material, that's perfectly OK too I have entered my fair share of mystery materials, there is no shame in saying "not sure what this is", usually we get some ID help through out the contest too which is a bonus. Good Luck everyone! Carleton

got little chance against Roy, but I need to practice, so here is a freeform attempt out of a piece of graveyard point. the slab preform, I didn't like the shape, and it evolved to the final cab.

Well here is my newest piece. I started out with what is probably my worst pre-forum (trying to get out as much usable material as I could). Overall this came out rather nice, I did sadly grind through more orange than I would have liked. This material is not very hard ether and has mixed hardness. The stone is a local stone that comes out of Caribou Creek.. There is a little bit of this material up there but overall blue stuff is hard to find. This is also the 8th piece I have made on my machine.

Thanks, It is fairly hard to find local stuff that is blue as well. I have some other stuff that should be really interesting when I slab it.
