-- Dick, Malvern Ohio - my biggest fear is that when I die, my wife sells my toys for what I told her I paid for them

Thanks, Dick! Yeah, a few owners have sent compliments but want me to hit them up in the spring!

Looks great!
That burl wood often has soft spots that no amount of sanding will help. It will absorb the finish differently. Never blend in. Sometimes CA glue will harden that up. Maybe some epoxy right there. Looks fine though to me. It’s burl wood and burl wood are variable.
Think about making your fish from some of your small scraps. Bet you have some nice, speckled pieces somewhere that would mimic a fish pretty good.
Yea, the gold hands are nice. They show up well.
Cool man.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Looking good Van, glad to hear you getting some bites from the shops. But yes take n the spring, which is not that far off. 4-6 weeks here.
