Popular Post GusGustin Posted September 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Thanks to Kevin for giving me the image and confidence and help to make this - and - to the help everyone else gave out. So - my son got promoted and is now "the man" just under the owner of the company. So - he's still going out on calls in his truck - BUT - he's got a desk. I left space on one side in case he wants one of those pens you mount on name plates. Or his card holder. With the virus I have not been able to visit him or his work. So - here it is - and next up - a Dodge Challenger. I've put both patterns in the library up here. As with building fishing rods - I share all.

Most pieces are about 4-6 inches thick and vary in length and width. I have gotten a bunch of them that area about 10 inches wide and 12 inches or so long. I resaw them as I need 'em. Same thing - and - same piece that the guitar/pics were made out of. So .. I get a lot out of each piece. Happy to share if anyone wants some .. and just pays the shipping ..
