OK,
I think decature bases are really neat the way the curve of the ears transition into the notches.
I started my base too narrow but when flaking around the ear into the notch just felt like therapy or something, and it felt good.
I can.t explain it but I'm gonna try to make another one just to experience the therapeutics again.

I wish I could say yes.  At least I know what I did wrong - just didn't take the appropriate measure for setting up the platform as I'd been on a run of knocking off nice flakes.  Went for that "last" middle of body flake and el snapo.  Oh well, I'll make two points out of it.

I'll be pushing to make another one as I go...can't let it win, after all.  Curious to see what's selected next.

Thanks guys.
