Had the chance to sit and do some more work on the frond gaddy drake this afternoon, but then found that the Val-Oil had finally dried on the widgeon frond and put a base coat on it.

Great stuff Bob! Can't say that I ever thought a palm tree would look so good. Great ingenuity and reuse of our resources... Pat

Managed to get some more done today before one of my sons "dropped by" .... with 14 of his college buddies! We have no food left in the house.
