Turtlepaint Report post Posted February 12, 2010 Hello Andy, I can just agree to the others, and - I can really do it, because I see the saddle in real and can ride it now every day!! Just great like the other one you made for me. I am so sorry for not having the saddle stings ready for this pictures, but I will share that later with you and the others. A huge compliment, Bea Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GAP Report post Posted February 13, 2010 In the simplest of words, in my simple vocabulary, that is one terrific job! Muy, muy, bueno! Gives me something to keep me motivated. Shucks, there is so much darn nice work on here, I get lost! Wished I had found this site a few years ago. Id'a still been lost, but what a place to be lost in! So many posts to challenge the creativity... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimKleffner Report post Posted February 13, 2010 Andy I have to agree with everyone else. GREAT lines and color. Nice tooling. Thanks for posting the pic Happy tooling Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newfman Report post Posted February 13, 2010 Hey Andy, I'm amazed by the texture and depth of the tooling. It really Pops! It reminds me of those artists that do pencil drawings and they come out looking like a black and white photograph. The level of talent around here is just . . . stupefying! I love it, thanks for sharing. D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
