I'm still turning out Bottle Stoppers with the hopes that they can pay for our trip to Dayton in November. Planning on pricing them low so we can get back home!-
The wife and I went to see "Appaloosa" last night. It was a pretty good film. I really liked the character Viggo Mortensen played and especially his haircut. Also, in one scene he's tieing his neckerchief in a way that I've never seen before...an overhand knot on one side with the other side just stuck through it. Interesting. Another thing I noticed was at the end of the movie when Hitch faces off with Bragg he stands sideways to lessen his profile. That little detail probably reflects what a professional gunfighter would actually do but I can't remember ever seeing it before either. One thing that I didn't like was Rene Zellweger in the role of Ally. She just couldn't carry it off. Maybe it was those beady eyes. And wouldn't you know it....her one nude scene in the movie I missed by the result of overindulging on Dr. Pepper. Oh well...the wife said I didn't miss much. Anyway, watch out for that haircut....I think it's going to appear in a carving real soon!!

Lynn,
ReplyDeleteHow DID you get the brim that thin? Or does it just "look" thin.
assume that the grain goes right to left, but still, there is a tremendous amount of unsupported brim there.
