Vince. Killer job. Those polished edges on the lips look great. Clear coat is flawless. Jerry

I finished a few more so I'll just post them on this thread. Here's the first one...
Fatfingers Flatshad in a "Moraine" pattern. This one is weighted for an almost neutral buoyancy so it should be interesting to cast, rip, and pause. Iridescent gill plates and fins:

Thanks, guys.

Here's an Fatfingers Flatshad in a sort of Orange Tiger, carved from western red cedar.

It has a nice subtle color shift to purple pearl on the lower sides of the belly:
