3x3 map is done. Gonna pass it to the Capt'n cause I don't like it. 6'x 9' now in the works. Question was asked on how to age tarps and its pretty simple. Unwrap a tarp, wad it up and throw it in the dirt tor a month turning and watering it every few days. Coffee grounds, cut grass, assorted fast food condiments get tossed in, then twist it up and throw it back into the dirt till sun baked dry. Repeat as necessary. The 3x3 linen one spent about 2 years wadded up, looks fine but is very (too) brittle. Attachments:

Well damnation! The new tarp is 70% polyester and don't hold stains worth spit. Bring out the lacquer thinner and oil paints.
