now i get it i was missing the point about the legs being longer it reminds me of when i was determined to make dovetail joints on my machine after a lot of work i did it but ended up buying the fast joint system from mlcs just like curt was trying to tell me as for my plaque it turned out real good the hardest part was getting the customer to agree on a design for more than a day made it out of butternut which did not like the router bit made more fuzz than chips used the rope bit on the rotary table 48 starts going to the center the outline was just the base of the neck 2 1/2" bigger i put a 1/4" bead around the outside edge to cover the edge grain but with all those starts it made it look like a salsa chip dip bowl so that came off i really wanted to make the shadow design that was mentioned at the time but could not sell it he wanted the attention to be on the elk more than the plaque one thing that i wish our group would spend more time on is finishing sometimes the end grain on turnings take a finish real bad and you don't know until it is to late for this project i used bartley gel stain first time that i used it worked real well no end grain dark spots have used minwax gel stain in the past with bad results very uneven color thru out the piece the bartley softened up the fuzz and was able to use a scraper to remove it as far as pictures go i am the only person in Pennsylvania who does not own a cell phone or digital camera the customer promised me a picture when the head is mounted and i will post that picture bob
