March 23, 201511 yr I LIKE it Chris. I'm thinking a near miss would take a guy right out of a fight. Not that I'm suggesting getting into a hawk fight. I'm just looking at the remaining rasp teeth and visualizing them rubbing my head at speed. . . Owwwwwww!.Frosty The Lucky.

March 31, 201511 yr Very nice. The lines are so flawless I thought it might have been a stamp or something. How did you get the different coloration inside the heart?
