... or at least that's what I see in there:  I prepared it for groove wrapping:  The material is awesome (thank you again Daniel - Deb) and took a great shine:  Thanks for looking, Adrian |

I remember that rock. I have no idea which bucket the rest of the chunk is in, but I know I have more. Seriously got to get organized.
A guy near heare does groove wrap, but he does not get such nice even grooves. Do you use a jig or stop to control the depth and placement?
Oh, and I see the antartic too.

No, Daniel, I don't use any devices to straighten or depth control the groove. I only draw the line with a permanent marker and slowly do the cut, as I posted here (scroll down a bit): forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/?board=wwp&action=display&thread=22276&page=2Adrian PS. Mike, I have no doubt you see the Antarctic landscape. You are so close to Antarctica compared to the rest of us that you could see it live.  |

Great shape and scenery Adrian! Thanks for the link to the groove thread. I must have missed that...and was gonna ask how you do it. I love your wrapping style you do with the groove..very nice.

Good eye. Great cab. With shine like that you can use it like a rearview mirror in your car.

So, Adrian, is that a little reflection of your life? Sorry, I got sidetracked. Great shine, and great cab! And is that your blockhouse?

Thank you everyone.
No, Karen, the blockhouse you see is not mine, it's the blockhouse in the neighbourhood.

Sweet cab! I don't know about the arctic landscape. I look at it and I can almost see a tree... hmm, wait, a corner of a building, no the whole thing. yeah, that's what I see. ;D
