CS,
Those squids make my drool everytime I see them.

I have a stash of hard maple dowels at home with some interesting grain patterns. Can't wait to pick out a nice looking piece and just clear coat it to see what it looks like when done.
Nice work to everyone who posted picks here. Incredible talent on this board. Once I get some practice with the new air brush I'll post some of mine. No more cans for me!
