Thanks Robin,
I have not been near my shop for weeks. The wife and I are building our retirement home and with the way the lumber market is I have been stressed and busy trying to get the thing dried in...
Raining today and I just slunk off to the shop for a change of pace!

I’m going to enter this month and currently have a few pieces that I’m working on that meet the dimension requirements. The picture shows two Petrified Palm Wood samples from College Station at the top and three Brazilian Agates sourced from Brazil at bottom left. The smaller piece to the far right is an agate with inclusions from Needle-peak, Woodward Ranch South. For my final entry, I let my family select what they think is best.  |

I am entering this fabulous Montana Agate. I cannot remember if I got it from someone here on the forum. I tried to figure it out, but alas, my old brain could not remember. If you recognize it in a parcel you sent out within the last 5 months please speak up, so I can give you credit.  Rough  Preform  Measurement Requirements  Profile  Finished Cab |

@jadedvision
That is the most awesome cab I have seen in the FCC ever.
Your presentation for this contest was over the top. I especially like how you show the rainbow effect in the cab. This can be tough to photograph on a high gloss cab.
Well done.

@jadedvision oh my, a beauty for sure. Wish I could see in person because I know how hard this material is to photograph. I'm sure it is gorgeous.

Here’s my entry for the big cab challenge. Davis creek rainbow obsidian 82mm x 131mm x 12mm star Spectacular! Absolutely spectacular. After these last few entries I'm kind of ho-humming on my creation now haha. I'll be working with no foreseeable days off for a while though so I can't start over at this point. |

Mine will be done polishing in the next day or two and I might as well throw it in the ring...even if it gets kicked out.  |
