Funny, the pics from the website were making me wish I had a wood mod. Now watch that become the most beautiful tank after you work your magic on it Jon!

Be careful what you wish for. Once you get your first custom wood mod, it's hard to stop. damhik

Did anyone get tanks today????? I was thinking some of the closer folks might get them today. Friday and Sat. should be big delivery days. Just for info's sake, I got half of the next batch of tank material today. It still amazes me at how UGLY this stuff is when I get it. One of the stabilized woods I got, looks like a petrified dog turd!!!! This will be the first batch through the new lathe and I'm STOKED!!!! I've had a couple of pawns break at the thinnest point on them, so I will be making them quite a bit thicker from now on.

Oh hey jon, got my tank today, the molten metal is sweet...

got my tank today, stone MOP... if it wasn't for a very slight increase in weight, i'm not sure i would have been able to tell the difference! is it really stone? lol!

Stone should be here Fri. No plans for tomorrw, so I may try to get a Lavabubble made. I've already got it drawn up and I've got a piece of left over red with gold matrix stone.
