Jack,
Thanks so much for the reply and the good advice. Very, very helpful. If I want a Range I should just buy a Range!
I've now had the CD shaped via steam at Rough Stock Western Wear in Raleigh, NC by their hat man Jose' who was easy to work with and very reasonable (in case any Forum Members live in The Triangle area of NC and looking for the help of a shaper). I took the picture of the Bluegrass Green CD I posted earlier and asked him to replicate and he nailed it. I did ask the he make the side dents not so low and it all turned out very well. I'll post a pic eventually...
The Resistol San Antonio looks great! A handsome hat. Thanks again for the advice and taking the time to reply and post the pics.

Oh, PS to all re spidering. Check the Silverbelly CD at this Strand Hatters site, expand the pic and you'll see spidering even there(!) and I believe Strand is Akubra's retail shop. Nice site, worth a look and they stock the Bluegrass Green CD (I hope my next hat).
Again, best to all,
Tom
