hey conga, you responded before me...
thanks so much brother. I'm insanely critical of my stuff, but Im really happy about this one...except the uneven-ness of the leg tats. other than that I am really super happy about it, and the owner's son told me today that his dad saw it & said it was better than he expected. That was like 2 days ago & I've done A LOT since then...so I'm really happy right now.
This gig, the property and the family that owns it...just awesome. I'm so happy about all of this. And that really inspired me.

so, ok. Had a little delay on starting the second piece, as I was waiting for the tree guy to come take the top off...
so I got a couple of big chunks to make something with...
and I picked up this old '71 "Mag Sprocket" Schwinn Typhoon and put some ridiculously big ape hangers on it for barbopping...yeah, it's a bit over the top, but it's a hoot to ride....
