This was the first one. lots of room for improvement. Going to try using a recip saw blade for better depth of branch definition. Left it rough at bottom of branches by choice.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Wicked cool!

I just got an airbrush and I'm still learning to use it. My brother does sheet metal work and made me a nice spray booth that I'm rigging up some duct work for. I'm also in the process of building a turner for once I epoxy them. I have a bunch of plugs turned and ready for paint but here's the first batch using the airbrush I still have to paint some mackerel patterns on some of them.

Awesome video of your shop musky.

I'm having trouble posting pics.
