How did that happen? I'm away for 31 minutes and I miss this.


:D :D :D Dr., you know I'll make another for you at the drop of a hat ;)

Thanks for all the kind words guys. You have no idea how much I appreciate it :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
You do exceptionally fine work, David. I was sitting at the computer when you posted the set. I waffled on buying it because I have a couple of similar sets - nothing nearly as nice, but performing the same function. It's nice to see it snapped up so quickly. I think it says a lot about your work that it never seems to last very long. The quality of your work never ceases to amaze me and it is always a pleasure to see it posted here on the forums.

Thank you very, very much popedandy :)
 
David thats one of the finest duo's Ive seen for awhile. It looks to be an instant classic. Keep up the excellent work.
 
Do you think you could get the same effect on the birdseye if you treated it with aqua fortis? I usually soak mine in Danish oil to make the eyes pop but increasing the contrast makes it look great.

Great execution on the frog. It's a simple system that works great. :thumbup:
