Beaverslayer Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Roger, you have to tell Krazy Karl that black is an outlawed color for such fine workmanship. This seat is exceptional. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crystal Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Your detail is AWESOME. And I second, third and whatever all the motions by the committee to outlaw the black dye. Crystal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Myriam Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Man, is your tooling great! Totally awesome!!! I agree with everybody else, no black, at least not on the whole thing. No way. You've got to let the tooling show in all its glory. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomSwede Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Nice as usual Beeza! I'm with the rest, nice blend of styles. This one really shows how great you are with the backgrounding, so nice and makes the whole theme just pop right out at ya'! Black with outlined red contours might look good with it but it's a lot of time painting involved with that. Check for my Ozzy bracer to see what I mean.

The Major Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Now that is one nice looking seat Beeze. I would agree with David and tell him if you dye it black his butt will fall off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
