This is EXACTLY What I thought when I saw it! Beautifull!

Julio: Probably you already know it, but a nice trick to get a good grip on the handle is to cover it with suger (SI AZUCAR) when the varnish or envirotech is still fresh and then wash it off with water when it dries. The result is that the sugar comes off leaving a nice grip in the handle and it still looks like wood.

Marco,

I've used coarse salt instead but I wanted that sleek Euro look on this one. Besides, I've never had a problem on a gun handle slipping on me while lining up a shot.;)

Pucho,

Do me a favor...don't tell him you did that!:0

Thanks for the props.

Anthony,

No le hice lo que tenía en mente porque era demasiado trabajo para solo un mango....para la proxima.;)

This is just the first coat of Envirotech...will keep you posted.

Another..

Notice the stainless steel shaft insert to counter the natural flotation of the wood.

If an idle mind is the Devil's workshop, I must be going to Hell. Dirty water has me tinkering...

Marco...you like wooden, Euro handles don't you? Here's one I'm working on for your friend Luis Candelario.

this thread is awesome, thanks for starting it Dan, and thanks for joining up and contributing Ricky, your pics are amazing

this forum is forcing me to really work on my spanish cos I know I am missing some funny stuff

Come to P.R. We'll show you a thing or two in Spanish...such as.."Que rica esta esa mami!"...or.."Si cocinas como caminas me como hasta el pegao!" ("El raspe" in Cuban)

BTW, these are not sayings you can translate in Google!

"La sombra": 63 pounds of beauty. Taken with just one fin and at 15 feet of depth.... :0

I think La Sombra weighs more than 63 lbs. and I don't see a fin on that cubera.

Oye...y eso era un filete nadamas coño...el otro me lo llevé pa' la casa.

ok, ok...5' 8" and 170...Jeeeesss!

Should we call each fillet a pound and count the fillets?

Seriously, looks about 12lb to me. What do you guys think?

Keep in mind I'm 6'6" and 255lbs!

I'll also take a stab at the mutton cat....too hungry to weigh though.;)

Although I know it will be short-lived, I'll take a jab at the Cubera category...24lbs.

BTW, this was a shore dive less than 200ft from shore, if that means anything.

ñooooo!!!! Nice shot too! Congrats Emil! Quite a specimen.

Thanks Marco. Looking forward to it.

Thanks guys.

Rolo, I'll probably be in Ft. Lauderdale Feb 21st. but only for a day. Not much time to get wet.

Marco, thanks for the reference. Luis Candelario just emailed me.

As far as a boy or a girl...I'm hoping for a boy!!!!!
