Once again, really beautiful work. I love the crappie, and the wolf is really nice as well. In fact, all three are really very well done.

What was edited by admin.? Did you post prices for your work? I'd have a hard time NOT buying that if I saw it somewhere. I enjoy "outdoor" artwork.

You're a very good artist, Leech!

AWESOME WORK! I too would not walk past this without checking out a price tag.

I have a question if you're willing to talk about your method. I've been kicking around a couple of canoe paddle ideas for my basement decor. I'm not a painter, but if I wanted to paint words on a finished canoe paddle, what paint would I use?

Is it acrylic? or is it oil? I would think it would be tough to get paint to adhere to a finished paddle?

Was thinking about making some kind of creative family name plaque with a small canoe paddle for a wall hanging. I figure, I can do words smile

ThunderLund78, have you thought about wood burning into the paddles? I have done a few things on rustic wood for family members like nameplates and cribbage boards. You probably would have to strip the finish off the paddels and then refinish them once done burning.

I don't mean to hijack the tread, but maybe suggest another idea or his question. I tried to PM TL78, but his box was full.

Cicada,

Funny you should mention, I have done a little wood burning. Again, not an artist so I just traced images onto paper, transferred them to wood and basically followed the lines with the wood burner. Not selling these, obviously so I don't feel bad about tracing existing imagery--it's just for my own enjoyment. Made a pretty neat decorative fishing pole mount that hangs in my basement. Was curious in the paint because I'd like to add a little color and variety to the decor.

PS thanks for the heads-up on my full inbox, I will purge.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
