You are having too much fun Evan! Good on you for expanding the boundary of the deposit at Bat Cave as well as the composition of that deposit. The cabochon is nothing short of spectacular and you skill is amazing. Keep em coming! Thank you. Hopefully when I get more time to expand on the deposit, It’ll produce enough material of the high end moss so I can send some out.

Got my entry finished. Agatized palm wood, aka Maggot Agate, carved from a slab that Tela rockjunquie so graciously sent to me. Free formed, dremeled, finished in the vibe. There were flowers above the cab- if I need to get a truer picture of the colors for submission just let me know. Thanks for looking. 🙂

Getting me pumped up to attempt a cab with a dremel.

Thank you miket, that's a beautiful stone, even without the extra pink. It makes me think of a koi pond with golden koi drifting around below the surface.
Having just carved only 1 part of my cab, I KNOW that was a lot of work.
You must have good patience.
Patty

Interesting, Victor. So the upper edge of the girdle is concave and the dome is more of a saddle shape. Am I seeing that right?

Thank you Tommy , lots of interesting entries, I'm glad some obviously talented people were up for the challenge.
Good Luck to all.
An interesting side note about Cutting Edge Supply, I found them accidentally, and found they were selling some cabbing & carving supplies that I wasn't finding anywhere else.
They are a relatively new small business and I've found them good to deal with.
And heck how bad could they be, that agreed to match my gift certificate for the contest, when I drew blanks elsewhere.

I will second the notion that cutting edge supply seems great, I've done two orders with them this summer and have been pleased so far!
