Did I do the right thing? Jul 9, 2008 23:17:32 GMT -5

I'm finally back to being able to post some pictures. I moved my computer to the new house and I ended up with dialup. But I just got them to bring in high speed service. What a difference!!!!
Here are some photos of a large cab of Owyhee that I just finished. It is 3 1/4" wide and 2" high. I really struggled with which side to make the front. I settled on this one because it seemed a more comfortable scene with the red streaks sloping to the right. I think it looks like a volcanic cauldron spitting up molten globs of red hot lava. This is the front.

The globs are more prevalent on the back side, though.

So whaddya think? Did I pick the right side?

?

I think you made the right choice on which side to make the front.

On a lot of material the scene changes a bit when you dome. Sometimes it gets better sometimes it gets worse.

Yes, I think the best side is the one you picked, but only just. It may just be a left handed/ right handed thing. I'd be happy with either one on the front and nothing on the back Tony

I think you did just the right thing. That is one sweet piece of Owyhee. Steve

It is a beautiful cab!

BEAUTIFUL cab! Adrian
