Nice Job Arnold. Like the details, especially the verdigris colored still.

That's a good one you have there for sure! I agree that you have the tarnished copper of the still and tubing a very real looking color.

Moonshining was very widespread here in my part of the NC mountains through the 1960's and still is close by... but no sir, I'm not talking!!! I can walk you to a landscape hidden spot just a few hundred yards from "here" where the very clear remnant's of a still are scattered about like a living museum just like it was after the law blew it up.

You might recall "Junior Johnson" one of the original Nascar founder's and racer's of all time lives only a stone's throw from me and you might enjoy reading about his famous adventures in moonshining: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_Johnson

Thank's for letting us enjoy this very nice piece of your's!

Very, very nice! I like a lot! One of these days I may get enough guts to attempt carvings like that...I know the results won't be as nice as yours tho. Tom H

Arnold....I think I live close to that guy! A lot of moonshining happens in the hills of Virginia too! I think there are some active stills over where my family is from...of course, I would be afraid of that stuff!

Great job!
