"Fun" is probably the best way to describe it. Looking at WWI dogfight art there was a lot of opportunity to position the planes (it helped to hide some flaws, too). If I wanted to mix scales and work on my painting there'd be a killer project in there.

The box art helped to guide me:

This isn't my work, but it needs to be seen.

My warped child came up with this last night - a burger that eats YOU! I'm hoping she comes up with a whole series of carnivorous foodstuffs:

A big shout out to surferguy who made me an awesome custom table top for my RV.

Here is the original:



Here is the new:





So the new trailer I have is pretty sterile inside, which they often are. I knew this going in and have enjoyed making it cozier/homier. It's a weird little trailer (Winnebago Hike 100). It's just 13' long, but sleeps four with a drop-down bed that's on hydraulics. It has a wet bath and some other unusual touches such as being a toy-hauler for ebikes and stuff with two huge doors that open up the whole back end and flip the seats into the wall so you can slide in kayaks, bikes, whatever. It's like a B van, but it's a trailer. Anyway, getting off topic here...

As part of giving this a more organic vibe and a nicer place in which to spend time, I really wanted to ditch the too-big table that was finished in that basic RV style that looks fine, but was too overpowering in such a small space. Surferguy made me this using a few neat methods that give it texture (you can see/feel the grain), finished it beautifully and there are undertones of, like, a eucalyptus colour that we've put in throughout the trailer versus just the blacks/whites/greys that it came with. These pictures don't super do it justice, but it has transformed the trailer from a neat space to the chillest, coolest little hang-out cave ever.

So stoked, surferguy. Thanks so much!!

That’s some sweet sweet ash.


I appreciate the note Sliver - It looks pretty sharp in there. I am glad I could lend an assist for you on this project. I was happy to use it as an excuse to try out a brand new finish.

Cerused ash if anybody is interested in looking it up.
