Popular Post Charlie E Posted September 23, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Made this for a childhood hunting and fishing buddy I've lost touch with except for FB. He and his wife enjoy kayak fishing. I borrowed heavily from the style of Kimberly Francis. I'm not at all happy with the trees but they were the last thing I cut and after several attempts to "tweak" them I decided I better leave them alone as I don't have it in me to do it all over. It's 5 1/2" by 12" out of mystery pallet wood. jollyred, frankorona, New Guy and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Excellent piece Charlie that your friend and his wife will love. My husband always tells me that the "evil" of "good" is "better" - meaning that often when something is "good" and you are trying to make it "better" you end up screwing it up! I've been known to do that! You didn't here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been known to do that! You didn't here. Thank you. I've done that so many times! Little things like, "The dot over that "i" is too small. Crap now it's huge!" Kind of what happened with the trees. They look a bit Halloweenish but they'll do. I like your husband's quote. meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only a fun and interesting one to look at but your wood colors are so perfect....I especially like how the light part of the wood is perfect for the river and the darker part for the land.
