Well .. I did it (oh dear, sigh, Yippee!).

I really, really do not need another Buzz Pro - but - I've wanted a Mist In The Woods for some time now .. and the latest batch arrived today .. and I've been watching the thread .. and there was one (and only one) that made me drool all over myself ...

(wait .. is that drool? :oops: Yes, yes it is .. whew! ) and go ".. OMG !!! "

Introducing .. #210 .. The Spalted Elm !!

All the sample tanks have been sandblasted. Tomorrow I take photos and videos and put them on the site, so I will likely be too busy to check the forums!

And just so Odium doesn't say it didn't happen here are a few photos!

And a custom request:

There are a few more not in the photographs there will be 19 designs in full!

Hmmm I have to take a better picture of the dolphin tank, you can see the the frosted sea turtle behind the dolphin so you can't tell it is a dolphin in the photo.

vanZilla, mine is a spalted elm too. Yours has a bunch of character. Even if you didn't need it, you will love it! It will never leave your hand.

The tanks came out really well !!

I think the Space one is my favorite, the Lizard is real nice and I'm surprised how much I like the Reaper (seems the sand blasting lends a ghost like quality to that image). Reapers ain't my thing but it sure does work!

I think I will look around and see if I can find an Owl (Horned, me thinks) image that I like and have you do one of those for me.

:)

Speaking of horns !..

Check out the 'demon face' in the wood grain at the top!

Now comes the downside of buying this Mist .. this is my 3rd BP and although I don't need to sell off one of my others I probably should - the collection is growing out of hand and 3 BP's is a bit much.

My Clear/Silver that I bought 2nd hand was my favorite and it's got a cool s/n (#321) and no other writing on it to clutter the look up, just a simple "321" which I really dig - so I think that one is untouchable.

Which leaves my Blk one - sigh - the thing about the black one is .. on one hand it's got too much writing on it (for my taste) it says "574 Buzz Pro" and I'm not wild about the s/n either .. now if it were "555" or something cool like that I'd never part with it.

OTOH, my blk BP is a collector's piece. It's one of only a few (for all I know it may be the only one - I really need to check on that) that were made with a IPro circuit board !

Grrrrr !! :glare:
