1st Place Blacktip Challenge Trophies

Post by Blacktip Hunter »

They are nowhere near complete, but here is some of the work completed so far. Mike Croke will get two (largest shark, most sharks) and Chris Bishop will get one (largest Blacktip).

The shark jaw outline:

Two different jaw trophies (the one of the left is finished with the design, the one on the right was just cut). Both of them still need to be stained and put on the background piece of wood. There is still another jaw being built for the third trophy.
