Well my friend we have all have had these phases. It is good to be humbled once in a while, makes you realize you are mortal. Prozac helps a little on the suicide watch but mostly just lick the wounds and start again. There is always weaving. Of course ALL weavese are PERFECT "EVERY" time. Right!!!!!!
On another note, what comes after acknowledgements and do you think I should leave out the sailor language.

looks like one of those patterns best wrapt single on a big blank, not double wrapped on a skinny (bold move). Slice it off and avoid hitting your wrists! lol

Why cut it off? Just claim that is an original Picaso from his surrealistic period and up the price! Someone will surely purchase any of the masters works. Never admit failure to your adoring fans!

Well, last night I didn't bother packing it, I just put a coat of epoxy on half of it, Tartan style. Now it has no choice but to be cut off. To make cutting it off even more challenging, I guarantee the epoxy won't come off the blank and I'll dig into the blank when I try to scrape it off, rendering my GUSA Advantage 711H (Retail $192) useless. lol

Stuff Happens!!! I have several that look a lot like this. I think you actually started getting off the rails in the second picture. Stop and do one that you do really well to get back in the groove... or do what Bill said.
