work in progress...

[Trout]

after sitting here for the last 5 day's of my vacation trying to stay cool I decided it was time to start a new project so I headed over to the lumber yard and picked up $50 worth of wood..

This is the start of my Steelhead Trout...It's going to be my master piece..
If the guy at work doesn't buy it for $180 then it will look great in our newly redecorated guest bathroom which my wife did in a trout fishing theme..

my brake is over so back to the saw...

Simply amazing ! Talk about intimidating, just looking at that pattern makes me cringe ! I honestly don't know how you do it . I hope I can reach this kind of level one day, but I've got my hands full just cutting a straight line
Looks like it's gonna be a jewel !

[Jim8Mad]

That is going to look really good on somebody's wall. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

update...

If it wasn't for stuff like vacations and 10 hour work days at work I might of been done already....with 3 weeks to go until our schools start work has shifted into high gear but I still managed to get an hour or so in the shop every night this week..

just that one tail section took up last night and hopefully I'll get the other half done tonight....

Talk about making saw dust...sanding down the tail section from 3/4 to 1/4 sure makes a mess...


I thought I would be done before my next fishing trip but I guess that isn't going to happen...I'll be Salmon fishing the big pond on Saturday...
