Thanks, Tungsten.
No, I've never done any trout; kind of afraid that I won't be able to do a trout justice. If I find a good sketch to work off,
I may give it a whirl.
I did do a small, stylized trout as part of a bigger piece many years ago. A friend of mine had a driftboat, and I did a piece
on the plywood cover for the storage in the nose of the boat. He had someone sketch a scene of a guy playing a trout on
a river- flyrod bent, fish jumping; turned out pretty cool. He sold the boat, & passed away shortly after. It's one of the few pieces
I've done that I never got a pic of...wish I had. Wonder what ever became of it?
As for the oak, I'm always looking for wood that will inspire me to put something on it...
If you could PM me with some info( size of pieces, etc.) that would be awesome. Sounds interesting, for sure.
Thanks,
Steve
