Early Aquarius Contestant: master says: be like the water

The aquarius zodiac is around november, but I had a idea and if I wait all those months, then I'll probably forget to post.<br><br>I had a not very special natural fork laying around, I never really liked it and even had white lack on it. And I wanted to give it waterlike waves and shapes. A bit like my <a href="http://theslingshotforum.forumotion.com/t595-sleek-oak-natural-and-alternative-pouch-material" class="postlink">previous</a> one.<br><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TM1V8CYBzoo/T7JAnltGydI/AAAAAAAAADc/qU8Y9Qlmp2I/s711/DSC01813.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><br>This is it after the filing, cutting and sanding. <br><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-pL-onveoDKA/T7JEEItEN3I/AAAAAAAAAD0/MzP0GPErC_w/s711/DSC01824.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KoT9LaPVejw/T7JEvYObrPI/AAAAAAAAAE0/1ieOS34JZYU/s533/DSC01819.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><br>And here is it with blue collour. I used Winsor&Newton calligraphy ink, because thats what I allready had. The initial idea was to give the paint a bubble pattern. I did that before, so it's really possible, you need dishwashing soap, ink and a straw to blow through. But that was on paper, on the wood the bubbles popped immediately when it touches. So I did it like this.<br><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-l6xV5QVA7uE/T7JEE-xkNAI/AAAAAAAAAD8/QgTCNqDFTyY/s711/DSC01834.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br>Here you can see the grooves on top for the bands to lay in.<br><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bIj0ozgqgck/T7JEFnCK8KI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/tPMvLhLGsrc/s711/DSC01835.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Z8SFn8YtDXQ/T7JEEj2C1II/AAAAAAAAAD4/97Kqc-ceq6c/s711/DSC01832.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><br>The rubber is flatband for fitness exercise, but it's not theraband. I rolled it up so it fits in the grooves. The leather was a leftover.<br><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Y-UDk5Zoa-w/T7JEHgKuz_I/AAAAAAAAAEk/yny0ragzKtE/s711/DSC01840.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mXounuZ3GR8/T7JEGPf_-NI/AAAAAAAAAEM/9jl9w_g3CG4/s711/DSC01836.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Qz84hAS3QEw/T7JX5kKPb8I/AAAAAAAAAFU/7vrTIWDssW8/s711/DSC01841.JPG" border="0" alt=""><br>It works. Although it's not specifically designed for ergonomics, it's not sharp or uncomfortable or something. The grooves on top work good and it shoots rather nice. <br><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-oDQ_Cnisg_0/T7JEGqCXy-I/AAAAAAAAAEU/Lq2fyQPb0c8/s711/DSC01838.JPG" border="0" alt="">

 

Thanks for the nice words y'all At first I thought aquarius was around november. It turned out to be from 19jan. till 18feb. That's even later! I quess I have to join the gemini contest then. It should be a useful theme, you know, twins, Y-frame, there must be something to do with it.<br><br>@ketansa I had some leftover woodoil but I gave it to my father, so I couldn't do that yet. I hope that when I do, the colours of the ink and wood will come out just a bit intenser.<br>Ps. I 'm not sure yet which to vote for the bull contest.

 

Haha, I checked Wikipedia and Stu is right. Apparently it has something to do with 'triplicity', <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplicity" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplicity</a> something I don't understand what it is and something I'm actually not interested in anyways.<br>I guess I´m doomed now <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_biggrin.png" alt="Very Happy" longdesc="1">
