does she have small breasts ? she is only jealous

only joking mrs ptc

[joe greiner]

Fine lookin' breasts, Gil.

What was your prescription for drying the wood? Green? Sealing? Timing? etc.

[Gil Jones]

Thank you all. (I think:rolleyes: )
I am not offended.
The Wood was green about 5 months ago in log form [1.52m (5ft) long]. I did not seal the log ends, and just cut off two chunks for these hollow forms. I am an impatient person, so these were turned from log-chunk to finished piece in one session. Our Camphor seems to be fairly stable, flexing/warping rather than cracking.

Mrs ptc say's "average"

[OGYT]

I like 'em, Gil. No matter what they remind others of. :rofl:
Fit and finish. :welldone:
Like the idea of using the spigot for the collar... :brava:

well done mrs ptc, at least they are the real thing :2tsup:

nice hollow forms by the way :U

[Frank&Earnest]

An old but still good one: what do the sizes mean?

A = Almost boobs
B = Barely there
C = Can do
D = Damn good
E = Enormous
F = Fake.

So these must be Ds then! :D

(Personally, i agree with the French: what exceeds the size of your hand is wasted anyway...)

Cheers
