Title: hardin try
Post by: Stringman on June 02, 2010, 03:03:34 pm

It's been rainin all morning here and I couldn't think of anything better to do than hit rocks. So I sat down and picked up a piece that I had begun a couple weeks ago but stopped on. I was scared I was gonna break it cause it was about 5 inches long and had some chalky/grainey stuff on one side. I just went slow and easy and eventually this hardin started taking shape. Still not a perfect representation, but it's closer. The profile shows a huge dip, but otherwise I was able to get most of the major flaws worked out.
