Nice Wolf! The Vermont stuff is nice, but I'm a fossil man and have to go with the coral looking one as my favorite.

Thanks Pup , and Tony at less I'm getting better with the pictures lol I started using the Olympus photo software I think it made a huge difference I think its mostly the lighting , I'm using 2 of those yellow work lights 250watts I believe with the light box I made. I am going to try an find some of the "daylight" bulbs for them an see if that makes a difference. Most of the shapes are from the new templates , I really like having so many choices ,I cant wait till the new set of templates are done.
Thanks again everyone for the kind words Dennis
