Hey, it's nice to hear from you again. Your metal art is getting better all the time. About time you did a trout. OPPS make that a Steelhead (which is bassically a trout on steroids).
Sorry to hear about your laid off status. Hope you get back to work soon.

Nice work. I like the lingcod. How long is the sturgeon going to be?

Are you only going to make the gamefish? The whole collection of Alberta's 63 fish would be a nice touch.

Wow man you're getting really good! Need an art gallery soon. You're going to have to give up fishing. I didn't see as many pics from you this winter. You must have been working the metal.

Art looks great Wayne. Well done. When is this trade/swap show in April in Calgary you speak of. I'll be up that way I think the 15th-17th.
Anyway, sorry to hear about layoff, I'll come find you this spring/summer and make a girly fish purchase and perhaps leave you with a pic for a much bigger project for this winter if you're up for the challenge and have the time.

Less work means more time to fish. Always look at the brighter side of life. I know you know this. Very cool you've discovered a talent you are quite good at and only getting better at. Hats off buddy!

Got my Pike that Wayne made for me today. It looks great.

It's going to be a present for my Bro in law.

Just wanted to say if you want a one of, very cool item to put on your man cave wall, Pm Wayne and see what he can make for you. Pretty neat what he does.

Curious... Can you tell us, the little people, what kind of a process you use to make such cool creations? I'm local, can I come see sometime?
