Magnificent! Bill, this is a superbly "fishy" pattern.

Wow Bill,
Another perfect example of your handiwork and immense skill at the vice! This pattern is just gorgeous! You are a master of manipulating materials to exacting proportions to get just the right look! I am still seeking this skill try as I may!
The "touch dubbed" body you have shown here is awesome and is not as easy as it looks! Yours is just perfect and, just like Ray mentioned, "superbly fishy" as all of your patterns tend to be!
Please keep these beauties coming our way Bill! We can't wait for the next one!!

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

Very nice! That hen pheasant looks great.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
