Since I didn't plan on keeping it I thought I would experiment with a wood burner on it (is that allowed?) I tried to burn a tattoo style pattern on the ray and really jacked it up! :lol: I took some "before woodburner" pix but they didn't turn out, and the "after woodburner" pix are hideous, so no pix for you! :D EDIT - I sanded off all the hideous woodburner markings (except the eyes) and now it's back to OK (not good, just OK) We can live beside the ocean Leave the fire behind Swim out past the breakers And watch the world die.

We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die.
