Really looking good Mark!
Hope the varnish dries quickly, I want to see the next stage!

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

OK, nearly there. Eight thin coats of varnish and some rubbing down with wet and dry
Just waiting for the twine to arrive so that I can bind the net on

Splendid work MGs, Sir. That first fish you land with it will be VERY special.

All done now.
Many thanks to Lucky Luca for supplying the net
