That is a great looking 2 point mando in progress, Bill. The back is stunning!

Sorry Jim, I was just kidding. It's black felt marker pen in preparation for levelling.

Pete, Kudos, that looks like some super clean binding work !!!! I really like the look of that ...
very nice -- is that a green tint on the front, or is my monitor off?

it does show a green tint in these pics....not sure why. I didn't use any green...don't even have any green dye. This same picture in my profile album pics shows a more "real" look.

Yes it is! Nice work.It's getting interesting.

J.Sloan,
Do you have a fluorescent light in that room? I ask because as a retired photographer the green tint is usually associated with that type of light fixture. Same holds true of incandescent lights giving off a yellow hue. It is always best to take photographs in natural light. Just my $.02 worth of knowledge.
Must be retired, only a handful in this litter, instead of 2 handfuls.... The nifty red cafe safety helmet prevents scarring from collisions with overhead mandobeasts!

Hey Rob, looks good. Can you weigh the rib/male mold assembly for us?
