(For the sake of those with slow connections and/or machines, I'd highly recommend resizing the image to something in the 1000px range for the largest dimension. Anything bigger could cause some pain.  )
There are all sorts of image hosting services out there, like ImageShack. You could probably even use Flickr or SkyDrive or something. I have my own personal site that I use, so others may have recommendations.

When I get home I shall post the pics of my Skjold.

Seriously, here is my new Skjold. These pics don't show the detail of the grain but if you look at some of the other pics I've posted you will see some beautiful grain.
I'm still not able to post the BIG pics...I have a computer with all the bells and whistles and evidently don't know how to blow the whistles or ring the bells. Good grief Charlie Brown.

Seriously, that bass with the multi-lam neck and black/gold hardware is tooooooooo classy!!
And, selling that fretless at all is a crime. Just sayin'.

And, selling that fretless at all is a crime. Just sayin'. | I agree Basso! I don't like seeing ugly mug anymore than you do but Rufus had requested that I take a pic with the bass. So I did and since I had the other done as well. Both of these basses are pretty special on every account so this was kinda cool for that reason as well. BUT, just about everthing that will be getting completed between now and april is pretty stunning and that is due to my customer's input and contribution. All of you are the best customers a luthier could ask for. I really feel extremely fortunate to be building what most of you consider your ultimate dream bass. You have helped to make my dreams as a builder come true.
Thanks!!

I hope this isn't a trend, see what you started Rufus!
