Just read it again Terry. By Jove! You may be correct. 😀

The way I read it Jim was the wood was to frame it, perhaps I misunderstood. Terry.

Colin That's pretty nice thoughtful words for a farmer and the picture is not bad either Well done Jackie

Jim, Terry is right, I meant to print out a glossy A 4 on normal photographic paper, you know the old fashion way! Then frame that. Right, now on the basis a man that never made a mistake never made anything 😄 and when I was at school a triangle had three sides😄 now let's have a go.the second way, A friend of my family has a printing business , we are developing the idea of printing wedding photos etc on to figured wood, so you would need to what's-up the photo to my phone Jim 😄(07730249907) and leave the rest to me. And thirdly, if your carving technique does work you might amaze your self, have a go, nothing ventured nothing gained, that could turn out good as well, life's a learning curve Jim. 😄👍

That would be an interesting challenge Colin. It's impossible to carve something from a photo without expert art & sculpting skills but I've managed it a few times. 👍🙂 Yes I'm up for it. Can you bring me some bits of a similar size please. It needs to be seasoned or it will warp & split all over the place. Are you coming to Feb's meeting?

Jim, that is a wonderful photograph, really good quick thinking on jackie"s part to snap that. The character and clarity of the building in the foreground , the other buildings and mature trees in the main body, and the proportion of the sky are excellent, and yet the main subject adorns the centre stage most elequently . A bit of a wonderful memory maker moment for you and Jackie to see and take a photo of this rare visitor to the south coast of england, fantastic ! Jim, I think you should consider printing out an A four size photo for you and Jackie to hang in your home , I will be more than happy to find you some live edge wood I have cut on my sawmill that I think will frame it to perfection and add to the character of the Sean . That's Jackie s birthday or Christmas pressie sorted which ever comes first 😄. And if you could consider it I would love a copy , more than happy to donate to you or our club charity, may be some others thinking similar👍. Well done Jackie. Colin. Farmer and countryman.

Hi Martin ,All above good advice, I have three Lowrance machines. A 9 t I 2. Now obsolete A f s 9 I am very pleased with and have just obtained the new eagle 9 live sight, suggest you check out videos , there is plenty on YouTube to study up, to get the best out of them you need to consider some good cards in them like platinum plus or equivalent, they come in around or just over £200 but if your buying new, lookout for deals, you can sometimes get them free in the deal so don't forget to ask. Also may be worth having a word with Ashley at seatronix, he is very knowledgeable and helpful, don't know where your boat is but he is near Poole and gets to mariners there regular. Hope this helps. Good luck, Colin.

I believe that the newer Lowrance units are very good. Or you could give Karl Betteridge of Better Connected a call for advice, his no is 07729 399433 If he does not answer, send him a message.
