Well done, nice. Very tidy version and none of the hassle of
de-pithing a feather shaft as well.

I dare you to say 'de-pithing' three times fast...

Saying it 3 X's quickly is no problem ... being understood is the problem.

You guys are hilarious! Somebody needs to write a book on "The humor of the Flymph Forum"!
Norm, yours is just how I remember this pattern looking from my failing memory! I do like the additional (?) silver wire rib counter wound over the body! Very sharp and I would assume very functional! Also, your dubbing work is phenomenal! Can I come visit you in your parlor sometime?

Excuse me Norm, fine gold wire! Oops!
