That is the coolest thing ever. Ever.
A Whole Bunch of Guitars. Some with sparkles. Some with Pearl. Some with racing stripes.

Thanks everyone.

While doing a search for this thread to update it I ran across Sublimedo's competition Swinger thread.
He clearly beat me to it by three whole years but I'm very happy with how things turned out.
Thanks again to NickS for the tracing of his Swinger.

Such a lovely thing, so tasty looking that I want to eat it.

Come to think of it, I think I'm gonna ask Cindi to make me some of her savory hobakjuk topped with jujubes and pine nuts, in honor of the completion.

Looks tastey, needs stripes though. :wink:

Is it sweet like a dessert or more of a side dish?

I'm trying to figure out what would make suitable stripes. :wink:

It's only as sweet as the pumpkin it's made with, and is always served hot, most usually a winter breakfast porridge or holiday treat. The thing is, the little green pumpkins(as shown in the pic) are delightful little things that I've seen much less of Stateside. They don't stink of halloween(you know, that really strong pumpkin smell) but rather have a delicate scent about them that makes the porridge a really mild treat. While being cooked on the pot, ground powder from glutinous rice is added to give a tad more thickness, and some people add raisins while on the pot for more sweetness.

I blame your beautiful Swinger for my present hunger.

That looks stellar!
I don't know why, but comp orange fits so well with Swingers.
Great execution, Cooter.
