The shading, scale detail, and red eye......SUPERB!!!
Most people can't even draw an image like this! Surpasses every weave I've seen to date! A rod Anyone would be proud to own.
W O W ! (can we see it after the finish is applied)?!

Incredible detail. Perhaps the most intricate and lifelike color-change weave I've ever seen.

Should be rated at least a 10 to the 3rd power! There aren't words left to discrbe your work on this weave.
