[DR14GoNF14SH]

yeh jas, maybe you and i can do a tag team effort ( at your place ofcourse )

i was reading somewhere that you need to "cure" ( i think the term is correct from memory) the end product? The process where by you soak the b/g until it is suitable to be used in the tank... im not sure as i read this quite a while back and have a memory like a gold fish...

anyways... did u guys do anything like this, or just whack it straight in?

cheers,
e. :wink:

neil
spotlight have a tool that makes a wood pattern with paint, i reckon it would do the same in wet cement aswell or i thought what if you grabbed some real bark and pressed the indentation of that into the cement??

[cobby]

Thanks Steve Might be worth a look at

At the moment its looking good

Does not look much in the picture but it looks heaps better in the flesh

Going to try and use different shades to make the bark/wood effect

I'm pretty sure i can come up with something that resembles wood
