Introduction

The idea for this project came from one of rry customers who went scuba diving with these gentle gionts in Hawaii. Manias grow to 3100 pounds end up to thirty feet wide. Here's how to make a smaller version for your wall. {I made this project entirely out of aspen, slaining Ihe black parts with thinned acrylic paini. However, you could use wenge for the black pieces if you prefer.)
