Very nice boards. Looks like you need more space for them.
Good luck Larry!

I am not game to count…Altho I think I will have made over the 150 by Melbourne.. I won’t be taking that many…
I am happy to have got this much done and still having fun,...and a few side projects as well..
there is still a few days left….... and IF I wasn’t so LAZY would be there now.
Thank you all for your encouragement
Larry

If you hadn’t done the side projects, you’d be over 200!! ;-)) As long as you’re having fun, that’s the main thing.

150 wow! Way cool, after I finished the 2 boards I made for my good friend’s wedding present. I finally got back to making my wife’s 2 that I had previously started. I have 3 people that want them. How much do you normally charge Degoose? I don’t mind making them but I need to make it worthwhile as well. My wife and I are thinking of hitting the land of down under next yr. Where do you live? I was in Perth for 4 weeks a long time ago, she has never been. If it works out I’ll buy the first round (smile)...

Larry,
You are crankin’ !! You said you might not take all the boards to the show.
These are going to sell like hot cakes.
My opinion, for what it’s worth…..
Take everything with you…sell sell sell….Get home…. make more !!

Ditto to all the above!
Larry, you are a board-makin’-machine!

Whether you make 150 or not I can say that you certainly have been busy!! I hope you do well in Melbourne.

Larry, the 3rd pic from the top, lower left corner, I really like that wood on the outer edges, what is it? they all look great. I am still in the design stage of my first board, I guess I’ll have to set a goal, I will finish my first board before the end of Sept, no…. that is only 4 days away, how about before you go to Melbourne, I will finish my first board by then, .......maybe, lol

Larry you are as good as your word. I have no doubt whatsoever that you will have at least 150 boards ready for Melbourne and probably more. I wish I had known you when I was younger because you are a great inspiration and you are showing us what is possible. Unfortunately at my age I couldn’t even hope to keep up with you, but if nothing else you are shaming me into being more productive. I thank you for that. Keep cookin while the stove is still hot.
