Y'all know we spend too much time on these forums, and sometimes we go insane with the things we post. Well, Doug and I go back quite a ways to when RSB rec.sport.billiard, a usenet group (now that's showing some age in internet terms) was fun more than a decade ago. We have both gone a little crazy now and then and been basketcases ourselves.

That is a stunning piece of craftsmanship, truly beautiful. Darryl

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.

Then I realised God doesn't work that way, so I stole

one and prayed for forgiveness.

Incredible! Absolutely breathtaking! I played competition 8-Ball ("8-Ball Break" Champion) and was a team captain for about 11 years and never saw ANYTHING that commanded my attention the way this does!

Outstanding workmanship!

That is an Outstanding Case, Very Dramatic!

I like that you left it natural w/ just the hi-lights.

When I go to Make a Case, as I'm sure I will, I'm gonna try and pick your brain!

Man, The amount of talent on this board is Scary...

Yeah that is insane John but also absolutely stunning!!!! :notworthy:

All that tri-weaving look absolutely great and the floral is beautiful.

Once again a stunning case from you!

Hm.. I think it is spelled smörgåsbord where I come from;-)

:-) You'd have to know Doug. He is the king of wordplay. Smorgass Bored has been his screen name as long as I have know him.

I should repost the story behind Tampa Tubby Bob - I am sure you all would get a chuckle and appreciate Smorg's humor.

I think a tear just came to my eye...

That case is absolutely incredible. Thanks for making me feel feeble and inadequate.

Great job.

We need to start a new forum entitled "Masterpieces" for those few projects, like this one, that simply transcend the "Show Off" forum... :) Fantastic job, John!

John,

Very nice. Great triweave execution and case construction. It has an interesting mix of floral styles. Usenet groups <chuckle> have certainly been around a while and like everything that changes they are dropping by the way side for forums like this (except maybe for file sharing).

Regards,

Ben
