They are definitely worth buying but I think EACH of your friends here at w-v20.com should get one as a Christmas present..... plus shipping of course .... LOL

Looking great man.. I am insanely jealous... I only wish I could do that and you make it sound like child's play... very impressive.
 
Smoke I have local duck carvers here locally going WTF!!!!! And saying where did this kid come from!! Lol!! I'm so novice at this I don't even know what there worth? Any ideas on what's a good price for this kind of work?
 
well you are competing with the $2.00 from china market AND the "as much as you want to charge a rich person" markets at the same time.... They are simply chunks of wood so they have no real value AND at the same time they are artwork and are worth as much as someone would pay....... anywhere from $15 up to hundreds if you want to go insane with detail of texture on each scale and for the right fish and the right person maybe many thousands.... likely would need to be something like a 7''+ marlin or the like.
 
I would like a Mako!! Great work Kracker!! :drool::clap:

MJ pm me your address. I would be honored to make a shark for you. You take your personal time to host an awesome website so I will take my personal time to make you fish. Just send me your address and I can have it to you in about 2 to 3 weeks this fish is on the house.
 
Flounders next bud! I just put an advertisement on the hull truth and them guys are going ape**** over there. I've already gotten 4 emails with guys wanting fish. The striper seems to be a hot item.

Cut the pattern tonight just for you smoke. Smoke if i told you I made a wood model of my dads v20 when I was 12 you would call me a liar!!! Lol!! But i did true story. I'm gonna call dad and see if he has that boat laying around
 
That's F'n awesome.... Can't wait to see it done.

Well that explains it a little... Soooo you didn't just pick up a knife a couple weeks ago and become an instant master..... You have had at least a wee bit of practice over the years aye?
