Ahhh very cool hickstar!
The mini mullaloo gun got some shape and rocker! I wish i was small enough to test that board out, would be so much fun.
I like the lam your going to put on as well, nice idea.
One Love.

The B is for Bailey, he’s right into Superman, but can only pronounce it as Stupidman…
Spiderman for the hull, webs, mask maybe…haven’t really worked out what to do yet.
Probably glassing Friday week…
…would you like me to photograph / video the glassing of the “midge” for you, Grant ?
(meanwhile, here’s the “benzer bottom” board’s deck crease repair, so far…)
Howzit Hicksy, Oneula sent me some of that rice paper and I really like it. The one thing I found was the paper totally disappears even on dark painted boards.Another good factor is it's already flat, I cut it to 8 1/2" wide and cut the length to 12" which gives me a little bigger printing area. I've been working on keeping my lam printing business in operatio even after I make my mainland move. I wil just have to use the US postal service to mail the lams. Aloha, Kokua
