JohnnyP,

That is a great looking permit man. Too bad you weren't making a flounder, because those two knots would have been perfect eyes. As a fish biologist, I can tell you that you are hitting the morphology on your fish carvings right on the button. Great stuff. I would stain this one, maybe a deep mahogany. MMmmmmmm that would look nice! Is this by commission or did you just do it to make it?

You should make a few lightly stained lookdowns and arrange them in a small school in a bamboo frame over a dark stained wood background. WOW! I see dollar signs!!! Wait, I'm heading to the garage now....... :)
