Hey wait just a minute, don't hand us this load of crap Dave, all day huh???...we ain't buying it and certainly not me cause I do this stuff too and I know it only took you 23 hrs, 52 minutes and 46 seconds to buff this baby out and I could have easily done it in 23 hrs, 52 minutes and 45 seconds and not even had to pee the whole time. ROTFLMBO *lol* *lol*

Awesome artwork.  You nailed it! 

The fine details in the subject and scenery are real well done.  Not easy to do with a woodburning tip.  I especially like the way you incorporated the sunrise into the design.

What remarkable talent David.  I would like to see the smile on Dan's face if he gets the pleasure of viewing as I know it makes him proud to see you not only carrying on the Eminence call making tradition but bringing to a higher level than ever before as well.  Take care and good luck this coming spring...  *cheers*
