I love the scales.  Did you dye it before or after stabilizing?  

--Nathan, TX. Hire the lazy man. He may not do as much work but that's because he will find a better way.

Looks great! I like the scales for sure…

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
