WOW!  Very well done!  Did you make it in two pieces or was it hollowed from a single piece of wood?  Love the paint job.

  Hey Thanks Guys. I took it to the park today on my lunch break and really worked it over, it plays great! I did get a little video I will try to post later. It was built by gluing a few rings of plywood at a time shaping those and then adding a few more working from the crown down to the tip.

Here is a bit of Jackson in Action!

That top has a some girth.

I like the steep angle of the body.  Friendly for recoveries is how Chris put it, I htink?

Nice spinning: that top can give you quite a workout. I see "power lunches" ahead!
