Here is the first pic of my Adventurebilt. It is 100% beaver, and so far 100% everything that I hoped for. I am enjoying shaping it. I will have more pics tomorrow, as this bash is only about an hour old. I will get all of the angles. I will also have a review. Sorry for the red eye.

YES! :tup: :D PJ you've got that bash down truely perfect. I mean it! Even the funny little slant at the left side top of the crown :mrgreen:

So did you follow Pagey's tutorial to the letter, or what?

Leave it just as it is. Nice 8)

Pretty much. I cold/dry bashed it. This felt is not Akubra felt. I'll cover that in my review. I'll post bashing pics tomorrow. I do a little more to the brim than Pagey, and I differ from him in one other major area. I'll cover that tomorrow.

Awesome PJ. Your bashing technique is exceptional. The uneven humps look spot on.
I suppose yours was the only hat to make it out of Fedora's shop last week. Lucky you!

I agree with everything that's been said -- especially about the bash. I haven't looked at any screengrabs in a while, but that looks fantastic! :shock: Nice, nice job. :wink:

Very nice indeed! You are one of the premier 'bashers' here for certain. Can't wait until my bashing abilities/technique are figured out, if ever...
