Finally finishing up on a rod that has taken weeks because I only work on it between trips to my Dads. He is doing OK but requires more visits and shopping trips so the work gets done when it gets done. This is 100x95 and 5 or 6 layers A with D wrap. Kinda looks like a close friend in a way with the bandana. He has skin but no gold tooth. LOL

Thank you all for the wonderful comments. I am not getting many done these days but trying to keep the quality up. The eyes are really starting to cause some probs but until I am forced to get a dog I will keep trying. Heck maybe I can teach the Dog to wrap. LOL
Billy I have nearly 100 patterns now that are ready for wrapping (actually 3 more Skull and Crossbones) but with my time split I doubt they will ever get done.
Al my friend sounds like you been thru some of the same. Good, Bad or Indifferent relationships, If it werent for our parents we wouldnt be here. He needs me now and until that changes I will be there.
