Title: Autumn leaves x 2
Post by: Asianfire on October 06, 2014, 03:14:36 AM

One done last week for the contest here. Still did not manage better pictures.  :dontknow: That Dino looks much better at hand.  :icon_sunny:

And now just finished, ready to wear: Montana 2 x 2 inch
No problem getting pictures here. :blob1:

Ready to wear and doing so already to replace the Black jade that now has to be readied and mounted before sending it off to Canada.

Thanks for looking, Kurt

That has to be the best Montana cab I have ever seen. Very innovative and outside the box.  :notworthy:

Do you ever sleep?  :dontknow: You seem to be online 24/7; just like me!  :occasion14:

Nahh is good, but not that good. Here is a picture before sanding to give a better view as to whats going on.
Still trying to get one or two angles finished that show all the curvatures and bumps that I left in there for texture.

By the way, the picture on the right in the finished piece: The piece hangs straight. The angle is just an optical illusion that came by chance when back-lit.

Beautiful Kurt!   :headbang:
I like the Montana one better than the Dino bone one actually.   :icon_sunny:

So that's what the dino bone represents; I couldn't figure it out.
I agree the Montana is nicer overall, both show yout skills at working the material to a thin detail nicely though :headbang:a

WOW! those are both nice, I do agree that the Montana has more life to than the Dino, they are both exceptional pieces of work. :headbang:
