New from North Ga. Building one Now with PICS!

Postby rj.russell » Mon Jun 01, 2015 11:52 pm

Hello this is Richard from North Ga.
I'm currently building a off road Teardrop to extend my fly fishing trips. I'm basing my build off the Moby1xtr. I'm building this thing from the ground up. Home built frame and all. Spent almost a year drawing this project and building it since august 19th of 2014. I'm getting real close and I'm EXCITED!

Thanks bc toys!
There is a weird defect in the burl bowl but, I'm still hoping on being able to use it as the sink. If not I will be forced to find another because I'm in love with the idea. About the craftsmanship, I cherry picked the pics that don't show all of my Boo Boo's. :)

Defect in the burl. Many in the turning club would pack it with epoxy
mixed with either sanding dust, no fiber, or a contrasting color.
