Okay guys, I've never done this before but since no one has stepped up to get it going, I will give it a shot. I know there have been many great cases made during 2014 so let's see them and we'll decide which one we think is deserving of the title; AZB 2014 Case of the Year. :thumbup:

Jamie (Worminator), I hope you don't mind that I borrowed, adjusted, and adapted your 'cue of the year' rules to use for this contest.

SO....

Here are the rules:

1. Case has to have been made in 2014
2. Case should be owned, or at least one time owned by an AZB member
3. AZB casemakers can submit 1 case they made in 2014 for consideration
4. Please let the owner of the case post the pictures, unless the casemaker is posting pictures for them

5. POST PICTURES OF YOUR ENTRY IN THIS THREAD BY MIDNIGHT JAN 31st 2015. ANY SUBMISSIONS AFTER THIS DATE WILL NOT BE INCLUDED. NO EXCEPTIONS!

PLEASE USE THIS THREAD FOR POSTING PICTURES, CASEMAKER NAME, AND NAME OF THE CASE (IF APPLICABLE).

IF YOU WISH TO DO A DESCRIPTION BEYOND THAT, PLEASE MAKE A SEPARATE THREAD.

At the end of submissions January 31, 2015, a voting poll will begin with its own time limit at the end of which, the case with the most votes will be crowned 2014 AZB Case Of The Year. :thumbup:

Okay, let's have some fun.

Let's see those cases!

for your consideration...

My Rusty Melton Fully Tooled Hustler

 

[asiasdad]

I'm only putting this one in as it gives a completely fresh outlook on
a cowboy style case. It was made to look like a distressed, used saddle

Thank you Chuck Fields:









Check out this original cue ball holder

how about a pair of rusty meltons:

really unique for rusty, these are a new twist on some older designs. the back panel is sewn, no rivets or rings, what a clean look. i own one and badabing owns the other. badabings wife june was responsible for the design. thanx for looking.

Here's another Fields case. You need to hold this case to see how well constructed it is. Top notch workmanship. When finding the OP I had to gauk at the pics a little even though it's in the next room lol

Skullduggery by Phil Quiverz

 

[WildWing]

I know this isn't the fanciest case, but sometimes less is more. A classic Justis case, in rich mahogany. Built in January, 2014.

here's another rusty melton case, this has the traditional sheridan tooling but it features a beautiful cognac elephant body:
