Really looking good Mark!

Hope the varnish dries quickly, I want to see the next stage!

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.

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

Yes, I made two bamboo ones about 3 years ago. One about 5'6" the other about 4'8"

All done now.
