    Did not keep a note of the time, but probably no more than four hours. Did a lot of the shaping on a bench mount belt sander and, of course had to wait while the epoxy set up hard.

    That is awesome! Good job!

    Some Guinness spilt on the barroom floor.
    When the pub was closed for the night, a wee brown mouse crawled out of his hole and sat in the pale moonlight.
    He lapped the foamy froth from off the floor and back on his haunches he sat,
    and all night long you could hear him roar "Bring on the Goddamn cat!"

    Looks great! Every time I see these I'm inspired to try this myself. What a great heirloom piece to pass down one day.

    That one is awesome. The jade works really well with the ebony.

    oh wow dude, two very nice peices indeed. They look great together and compliment the kilt really well
    Inside me is a thin woman screaming to get out. But I can usually shut the b*tch up with chocolate!
