Cab on the left was from the first slice from the face and I found a scene worth giving it a try. It developed a vug (marked in black) so I'm giving up. The more I grind the uglier it gets. Middle cab was from the second slice and I shaped the back. The pattern is good but the back is not as interesting so I am hoping that I can get a good dome grinding the minimum. The cab on the right has an interesting front and back the center is over 3/8 inch. I'll keep grinding until I get a good dome and accept however it turns out. Very different looks from a one inch thick piece.

Cool patterns and colors.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
