Fairly typical of your work, start with substandard stave, rough it in with a rusty pick axe, pull the ten minute tiller routine with a dull cabinet scraper made from a discarded hub cap, no use sanding all those character marks left from repeated scrubbings with a 29 cent farriers rasp you picked up from a senile old goat at the local flea market, slap some rotting snake skin on the back to hold down those pesky splinters, stick on a couple tip overlays whittled from black legos you swiped from some unsuspecting neighbor kids toy box, and for the coupe de grois dump some clotted tru oil on her to " pretty it up". Yeh you should be real proud of that one!
Just trying to give a little balance to this thread.
It really is a work of art. Nicely done!
