Bring it on, Glenn! Sit down and cab it up, you have less than two weeks remaining. I plan to get it this weekend. Mountians still have too much snow for hounding and rivers are too high lol. So summer cleanup and rock cutting is where I'm at Well if plans go it will be finished today. This was tricky from the rough getting the design to look right in the agate lines |

Banded agate? I think Botswana agate fits the category. I let nature do the design on this cab – it does a much better job than I do – the old art vs. nature cliché. Instead of trying to make it totally symmetrical in outline I just followed the flow of the stone’s lovely banding. Great batch of cabs this month – it looks like it'll be a tough competiton.

Here my entry. Something different from what I have been working recently. That's beautiful! Good to see a first time contestant jumping in. Be sure to write what the stone is in the post so Glenn can label it properly when it comes to the voting poll. |

Here my entry. Something different from what I have been "] Very nice, Moroccan agate I presume? This is going to be a large contest. Tommy I think we may need to boost the voting thread when I create it. |

Tommy I think we may need to boost the voting thread when I create it. . Thank you and it could be morrocon agate but this slab was an auction win so I don't know. Look for the eyes and nose blowing smoke. Once you see it, it can't unseen it. Lol |
