Post a pic and the name of the style of flametop.

Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

River · 12-01-2011, 02:07 PM

I mean show pics and tell us if it's a fiddleback, blister top, Birdseye etc....

mfolet · 12-01-2011, 03:13 PM

Blister with a holigraphic ribbon curl.

Catfish · 12-01-2011, 03:14 PM

Watery flame:

Stormy flame:

Rollingrock · 12-01-2011, 03:15 PM

Birdseye, blister top, BBQ, etc...what I had in mind is show the flame type and identify it. Join flametop to term.

I didn't think birdseye was flame, never heard of blister top, and have no idea what to call mine except by the highly technical term "peek-a-boo".

What would you call it?

THAT is stunning, and I'm not much for flames.

FUS44 · 12-01-2011, 03:22 PM

Have to agree with River. The top and color on jhun's R0 is superb and among the best I've seen.

Catfish: Love the Water flame. Even looks liike you have a ripple on the one side. Really nice.

Wash out, with plain patches......Too many cold beers top, that is
when your vision is partly impared......

This one is unique, a mix between quilt and flame, almost what I would
call a rolling quilt that is very wavy.......Very nice......

This is why I call it "peek-a-boo". These two photos were taken moments apart. Same time, same light, same everything except angle:

a) Plain top
b) Flame top - but what gay-designer-named type?

CHUNKYNECK · 12-01-2011, 08:37 PM

My 2011 traditional, orgasmic flame.

Step out of the car please......This is another too many cold beer tops......

Get your story straight mister, first a plain top, then a River Top......

We have conflicting story's here......You are gonna have to go down to the
station with us young man......
