Squid decided that he wanted to help out with the MS Society benefit mug "Queequeg" beyond just giving us a deal on the sculpt. He has also donated the ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE SCULPT of the mug for auction!!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150303443015 Yes indeedy. You may own rare mugs. But do you own the sculpt it was made from? This is an original piece of art that nobody else will ever own!! As you can see from the photos, it is signed by Squid and also has marks that were used in the production. Again, ALL the proceeds from this auction go to the MS Society!! And if you haven't already bought your Queequeg mug, be sure to go to http://www.northeasttikitour.com/msmug/ and buy one or ten!! There are still some left of this run of 200 special benefit mugs. Many Mahalos!! ..sb [ Edited by: Suffering Bastard in Maine 2008-10-12 18:19 ]

It's an industrial tooling wax that can withstand sanding, carving, routing, machining, whatever. I just wouldn't put it under the hood! Here are some more pix: [ Edited by: squid 2008-10-13 13:33 ]

SBOS Suffering Bastard of Stumptown Member PDX Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 648	SBOS Suffering Bastard of Stumptown Posted posted on Thu, Oct 16, 2008 8:00 AM I do want to point out that the photos Squid posted were from BEFORE it was used in the creation of the mold by the Farm. If you look closer at the photos I posted, it shows a bit of abuse and it's not as "clean" as it once was. But that gives it character! the nose has a bit of a dent on it for example. But who of us doesn't have a few scars? And Squid gets drinks from me too! ..sb

But it will be out there somewhere a hundred years from now.
