Will this weekend mount rex on a stand. I had a young man name Jordan at work to make this stainless steel stand for me. It is 10" in dim. 1&1/2" high. The soft look of the stainless steel and the rustic look of the kinda dark
onze will give a good contrast. And will
ing the world of the very old to the world of the very new. And our big freind of 65 million years ago. Will live again.
Thanks for all the kind comments. One could say I started this work 32 years ago. But was to unskilled to evan get started. I guess it's been 32 years in the making.
