looks good to me,i have yet to make one succesfully  :P

been looking thru my overstreet manul
not all pine trees look like the ones shannon makes
his actually look better than the ones in the book
however there are several differant styles
but all seem to havr the serated edges

bevan i dont think that looks "buck rodgers ish"
looks a little more like the one from the original "flash gordon" movie  :D
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"

So, it looks like a space ship? I had to call my dad to see who Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon were. :)

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Gave it a try this evening, but I didn't fare too well.  I've got to get better at thinning.

looks good tim. i finished these two. the novaculite one was my learning curve. the texas one i had a little bit better grasp of the serrations. both of em i stalled one notch and had to stop.
