American Eagle

[Owen]

Been working on this one for a while.
381 threads
10 colours
9 layers
94 design threads
74 turns of the rod

I have a fair bit of packing and tightening to do. This is as wrapped.

Owen, the skill and patience you must have to create that masterpiece is far beyond my imagination!
Beautiful piece of work indeed!
Cheers.

No wonder you've been quite.
Holly molly miss molly!! :o

I really hope you got the dry set up better this time...clamp the bugger to the table.
But I'm positive Sandy has already suggested that once or twice ::)

I'd hate to see the same thing happening to this weave that happened a while ago :'(
Well done matey :)

The first part was taken care of long ago :P

As to the second part, most of what she suggests is physically impossible, though it probably would make me a happy man ;)

Here's a composite of it.
Going to take a while to pack and tighten the bloody thing.
Got blisters on my fingers from the thread :(

I'll post a pic when she's done and dusted.
This one is obviously aimed at our septic mates.

Here she is after the epoxy.

I was wondering what the post resin photo would look like as resin always gives depth to a weave/wrap.

well done Owen, it's a credit to you & all the hours you've put in. It certainly shows.

roz.

Funny thing is Scott he keeps telling me what can happen, anyone would think that I made the mistake not him.

patience Nigel you should have heard the swearing coming out of the room but I can say it was all worth it in the long run, the weave just looks fanatastic.
Next one he does though I am leaving home because he says he is going to tackle the tiger weave next.:-/

An Australian Emu next?

Great work Owen! Love the eagle! After that, you may qualify for duel citizenship. You can come over here and catch some largemouth bass, muskie and walleye.

Very well done. Congratulations.

roz we had thought of this and i have searched high and low for a good picture, but I just don't think is will look as impressive but willing to try.

Emu could work and there are many others we have thought of and wish to try and with Pictoweave there is nothing holding us back the sky is the limit.

goddammit Owen..almost makes ya wanna be like a good ol' southern boy and stand and salute..a top effort.

You did not strike me as being someone with sufficient patience for that...I can only imagine the blue air in that room..lol

Nah mate,
I just light some lavender essential oil, put on my copy of the Carpenters singing "Close to you" and assume the lotus position.

I'm a picture of serenity ;)
