Makes mine look pretty ordinary, even though I could've actually made a jade one myself in less time than the glass one took (once the sandblasting/etching is taken into account post-sanding). I had it drawn up and cut out already so I just picked it up and went with it. I've gotta say there is some damn good stuff this time round. wplugger, that fish man is incredible! I would suggest maybe holding off on all the pics until the due date next time, in case pieces that are posted don't actually end up in the draw?!? andw what's our new cut-off date for the stragglers? PS: that is a very neat scarfing job - you'd be hard pressed to get grooves that crisp with even a #600 burr... [ Edited by: Paipo 2007-09-01 18:47 ]
