Finished shaping this one last night, I'm pretty satisfied with the shape.

However, it wasn't until I looked at a picture of the cab that I realized what it looks like. Believe me, it looks worse when turned upside down.
So, for those of you with delicate sensibilities forgive me...it wasn't on purpose. (rotflmao1)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

I like it a lot, and really like the shape. I've made a couple like this on grinding wheels and it's tough to do. Honestly I am missing the picture if there is a problem with this. Wrapping it will be a challenge too. Kind of reminds me of a flame! I did one that wasn't as good

Thanks, Bill.
I've wrapped a few like this- in fact since my cabs are all freeform it seems like they're all challenging. Someday I may try templates.
I like your example, I wish I could have your creativity!
