Interesting shape to the bottles, different than the direction I've been going. Hope to see you at the plugfest and compare notes.......lot of subtleties to those things. Thanks for showing them.

numbskull,

those are crappy pictures, but those bottles are simular to the Donny Musso style, flatter face, less cup to the mouth, flared cheeks, When I first started making them, I made them like a gibbs bottle, they dove OK but had very little action, since I've changed the face, they are quite lively... if... I flare the cheeks correctly... if not PFFFFFT.. dud.
