If you like the look of these and want to see what they look like outside the multi-ton rocks, there are many carefully prepared and displayed in Canterbury Museum (and some in Te Papa): , and also nearby formations'

Finished up the top mosasaur, and then wondered if it would look better in red tones instead of blue/grey tones. So, now I have two! It's a school of mosasaurs. A pod? What do you call a group of mosasaurs? A fluke?

All natural wood colors, no stains. Top: blue mahoe, buckeye burl, turquoise, blue gum. Bottom: bloodwood, chakta viga, yellowheart. Both with ebony & holly eyes, with birdseye maple throat.

The evolution of a Paleo Pines inspired mosasaur intarsia piece:

Step one: pick the wood types / colors and cut out all the pieces! Here we have blue mahoe, buckeye burl, blue gum, birdseye maple, holly, and ebony.

Step two: glue all the pieces together!

Step three: sand the whole thing!

Step four: clean out the burl centers where the wood is soft and punky.

Step five: tape around the edges to keep epoxy from running all over my workstation, then mix up epoxy and embed within the holes.

Step six: wait. Ugh. The worst. Don't poke, don't make dust, just wait.

If anyone was wondering what this beast could *possibly* be, Hall identifies it as β€œrelative of β€œ β€” a living in Lake Michigan in the modern day. The utter dissimilarity of appearance is unexplained in-text; evidently Hall relied on a verbal description from David Peters (?!?!). Hall apparently fails to recognize the was seen off Chicago and regards an 1867 newspaper as entirely reliable and not prone to any exaggeration or falsification.

(7/?)
