    Thanks Steve. A bunch of wooden astronauts in a variety of sizes?

    She had a good time doing it, and kinda makes me laugh when I look at it. I figured it's my least traditional bass...why not have a crazy pg.

    That would be very nice...not sure how that would work, unless customers submitted an idea...then my wife would draw it up to see if they'd like it before continuing on.

    It'd be nice to do for fun, especially since all the artwork she gets framed/matted is for the house or family members.

    Thanks, and I completely understand. If it wasn't something my wife spent time doing for me, I'd probably go back to black pearl.
