The more I scrolled down the more sharks that surrounded me. It was like a b-grade shark horror movie, you're just swimming along and then BAM billions of sharks crusing for a buffet and you're on the menu :) Hey Hewey, that's funny! Yeah, my son's new favorite movie is Jaws. He loves playing the theme song on his guitar too. He asked if when we painted his room if we could put a big shark on the wall with people swimming up at the top like the movie poster! We'll have to see about that. That's a good idea about using different color stains. I think before I do that I'm going to try doing some shading with the burner first and then go from there. I'm mad that the fin on the big shark is too long. Why didn't I realize that when I was burning it? Oh well, that's what I get for working on things too late in the day when I'm tired. I wish they had a wood burning eraser! :) Thanks for the comps on the finished panel. I'm going to take Benzart's advice and sand it a little before staining. I can't wait to see how it turns out. As for burning something of Buzzy's, I would be honored, but really he's so great at burning patterns himself he doesn't need me for that! Gotta get back to work!
