RJB Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey Seth. Even though that diplo has some slight head/jaw problems, I would say you did a very good job prepping it. It looks like that fish is in some of the 'harder' rock. Also, those smaller fish can be more difficult to prep too! All those little tiny bones compaird to a big fish with much bigger bones. Again, a very nice prep job fella. May I ask what tools you used? RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dactyll Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 seth..... Very nice work indeed..... the 'presentation' is as good as it gets ..... square corners straight edges, they dont always work for stone as bits break off etc, but youve done really well.... visually perfect, and the label as an extra touch... 'classy'....it all adds up to a top job, well done.... I look forward to seeing more of your work.... Thanks for sharing it.... Cheers Steve... And Welcome if your a New Member...
