It was a eleven entry tie in my heart but since George made me choose one I did under gentle duress..
Thank all of you so much for sharing your designs and your beauty. It is so much fun and so exciting to see what you create. Thank you:)

Congratulations Mark.  Great cab.
Congrats to everyone else, as well.  Picking one out of all those submitted was a real challenge in itself.  So, the winner had to be a really spectacular stone, and it was.

Thank you all so much again.  I thought there were a lot of really great entries and was just hoping for a vote or two.  I was very surprised and humbled by the voting. 

I didn't get to slab anything else this weekend with watching the kids by myself, but i have enough slabs already for the Same Stone Cab Contest (SSCC).  Being an engineer, I live in a world of acronyms.  I will get some pics up in the next day or two and when my new trim saw blade comes in (today or tomorrow), will get started cutting the slabbettes.  I will send slabbettes to the people in the order they requested them, first come first serve, until the slabbettes are all gone.  Like i figured, probably something like 12 to 20 slabbettes.  I have probably heard from about 10 or so people so far, who want to enter and you all should be covered.  Anyone else interested should really let me know.  I will let you know when to send me your mailing address and you can IM me.  I just thought of something, if anyone is not located in the continental US, it will probably be more expensive than the estimated cost of $4 as your shipping may be quite a bit more.  Just guessing.
