Looks like you have a great grain pattern going on.

I’m guessing builders on this site have a scale real close to their boat. Here’s my confession, I have 3: 1, Digital up to 10 pounds in ¼ oz readings, 2 standard digital scale for weighing self possessed humans, and 3 fish scale which works real well for hanging the boat on to weigh.

Hope to see more posts from you. Keep us up to date on your progress.

PS Hey everybody, I'm back in town and ready to post with lots of new ideas. :)
