I have one more that is similar on the outside but donno about the inside.. I'm still looking for more amythest and crysocholla mix. |

That but I like the more deeper blue /purple look of the type i have, although would still love to have that type. The one i'm looking for also has a little bit of turcoise in it as well. I have 1 slab left.   |

Congratulations glennz01 on a well earned victory. Beautifully crafted cab - love the amethyst crystals. Thanks Tommy, I'm still looking for more of that material. I'm thinking it was really old stock though. Thanks all for participating in the event. And for those new people looking, when i first started about a year ago my cabs were not all that good, decent for starting. Its mostly due to these contests that i produce the quality that I currently do. Always posted my results even if it was a failure. Ask for advice and many will help. |

Congrats Glenn! Well earned. So what's the April theme going to be? Not sure yet, I'm thinking similar to this months where the theme works for just about every rock and something fun as well. I'm open to ideas right now. I was also thinking a shape contest like spheres, pendulums, pyramids or something, I started making a pendulum for someone the other day and its harder than it looks. |

I like the "specific shape" idea.  |

I like the "specific shape" idea. Might do an egg shape, 3d or 2d whatever the user prefers unless i can think of something better. |
