VR Wood Mods bottom feeders kiwi style

[Chowderhead1972]

Element I haven't found any abalone encased in resin big enough...but would something like this come a little closer.

WOW!!
Not a huge fan of wood nor purple but for that I would make an exception any day!

This reminds me of a peac@ck.

Even better! 2 please... Can I get that with a dna200?
Please email me a link to where you are finding this wood... I will give it a shot....

WOW, nice ... I'm like you, I've found some breath taking blocks, and then I find out they are something like 1 5/8 instead of the 1 7/8 they need to be
Then I think ... gee's isn't that close enough ????

So I used mothers on my buffalo horn button and it delivers an unrivalled polish to the surface. Just a dab and a rub on a napkin.

Pretty difficult to capture the luster on film

It is close enough if V does an inlay down the center, sandwich style.
You could go with scale thickness if he uses that technique and purchase some truly wild stuff.

And could you imagine this one with a gold stumpy?

I think I understand what your saying.
Would you happen to know where I can see an example of one done that way.
That would open a whole new world of choices

Has anyone heard from Vaughan?

I certainly pray nothing is wrong, perhaps he is just taking a break from it all.

Has anyone heard from Vaughan?.

He checked out and Ok'd a block for me on 1-28, at 2am in the morning
Thinking I might be able to get two mods, the next day, I sent a link for a second block for him to check out, and I never heard back. He just kinda disappeared over night
Sure hope he's just off having fun.

 

[inspects]

Me too Slots. Meaning he's just having some fun.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

I would imagine Vaughan is having some good ol' New Zealand fun...

 

[penguiness]

I sincerely hope he is enjoying some time with his family and having some fun

Maybe he is building suspense. He'll appear and blow us all away with a gem

Suspense is certainly building for me!

It's not that long of a list and the mods are beautiful.

I have worked with this stuff in the past, and can get thin lazer cut strips laminated in resin into a sheet, and can use this on a wood substrate. Very pretty stuff...

Hi all, so sorry for my absence, There have been thing to be dealt with in the last weeks, I won't go into detail, but rest assured all is well, and I'm back on board! There will be more periods of a few days where I must break away, But nothing has changed, mods will be built, and creative juice will be brought in by the look of some of these lovely blocks that have been posted and funky ideas like the paua shell and such. Looking forward to being back in full swing after this period away!
