Gman- I didn't even see the potential of a flounder until you mentioned it. As soon as I read your reply it was crystal clear. Now I think I messed up and cut the wrong fish out of this piece of wood. Maybe I will call it a permounder and mount it on the floor.

I had to look up what a lookdown was, your idea of a couple of them in a frame would be sweet looking. That is a exotic looking fish. My next fish project is going to be a school of pompano.

Thank you for the complement on the morphology of my fish carvings.

This wasn't a commission, Michigan is not a hot market for this kind of stuff. I just did it for kicks and fun. I've only sold one thing so far, the rest I've kept. Some day I hope to have a tiki bar inside and I am watching Finkdaddy's, Pappythesailer's, TikiTikiBoom's and OnaTiki's bars with much interest and have drooled over RevBambooBen's recent work at the Kona Club and Tiki Lee's. Right now the only layered tiki look I have is my stuff all stacked in corners of the house and hidden behind furniture.
