Master of Bassets...and not much else
My Lil Pinch is now complete! She has her custom drip tip made from the same block she was made from. 
great looking tip, Rob.
Vultures (
), I'na workin' on it (pictures). Got the final flushing/shaping caps↔bodies done on Fri. Did some cap detail work over the weekend. Just got into hand sanding yesterday eve and applied SeaFin to the appropriate mods. Today is all about hand sanding and first coats of CA.

I heard Peter hired a bunch of Navy guys from the shipyard to help with the finishing.
Loved the picture of Earl. I was reminded of this:
If that guy is 18, I'll eat my shorts!
Kay, kids, remember, this is all 1st coat stuff. These mods is still . . . . ..

This Cocobolo is heading for an Oil/Wax finish. First coat of oil is on @400 grit.
↑this one is going to darken up substantially with the oil/wax finish. Should be luscious.

I have a few more ready for pics . . . but 
it got dark so early!
I lost my glorious overcast light. No biggie, I'll get the rest hand sanded, "first-coated", that still need it, and show them off tomorrow.
Meantime, here's a natural Claro Walnut with a little rippoh goin' on.
↑this one's heading for a CA finish; but I started with a good saturate of SeaFin, as it's natural (not stabilized), and Walnut, and it's good like this.
hmmmmm ? ... . . "Rippoh"? . . .. 
that's a technical term found in woodworking.

Every one of them is outstanding!
The Desert Ironwood is certainly unique, in a good way

That cocobolo will rock. I'd likely kill it in a week. But it would be a good week
