>Very nice Molly. They remind me of a safari I had to South Africa, only I was stampeded by buffalo. The hole in the center - that was me in a Land Rover, with hundreds of buffalo on either side. Scary!

Does the camphor smell as I'd imagine when turned? How about when burned?

>Molly,

Here's a suggestion from the peanut gallery...

Get yourself a scanner and a computer drawing program such as CorelDraw (I know that most folks here are Photoshop/Illustrator wonks but I don't know either program).

Scan in your best drawing. Open it up in CorelDraw. It will come in as a bitmap. Open a new layer and trace over the outlines of your horses. Delete the bitmap. Now you can re-size...lengthwise, widthwise or proportionately...you can rotate, skew, and more importantly, you can "mirror" your pattern perfectly.

If you want you can even move individual horses or resize them to add interest, instead of just having the same pattern mirrored on the other side.

And the pattern is available to be used over and over again in any size, shape, or configuration you might want.

It's pretty neat...

>That must have been an experience you'll never forget Mike. Cool.

The camphor does smell wonderful when turning it. Mine was pretty dry, so it didn't smell as strong as green camphor can, but it's still a great experience. It's like having a huge jar of Vicks Vaporub right next to a fan. I was wondering what it would smell like when burned too. After burning for a while I finally figured out what it smelled like. Ginger. It was also a pleasant odor.

>Hi Molly,

I love it!! I also like the fact that the Mustangs overlap. A very nice feature in my eyes. I also love the shape on this one.

I have turned some Camphor before. I enjoy the smell when turning it. It sure clears up the sinuses. :)

As for the name "Stampede" I believe that will be the collectors whipping out their check books to buy this one. :)
