 That looks great! John is going to use the Badbird on some builds so I'm pretty stoked. I am tempted to send him a NR for finishing!

Very nice!  Is that checking on the finish?  I remember when checking was a bad thing.  LOL.   8)

I'm getting checked-out from the home soon; I was allowed a metal spoon last week and if I behave myself I might be allowed a real pencil soon...

Beautiful work...

Might have to leave the cork on for awhile yet.

No corks... they swell up when you swallow them... definitely no corks... they won't allow that...
