Nice Lee, will be lovely when completed! British racing green whippings! Lovely!
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.

Should darken up a bit once varnished, hopefully near original.

Looking forward to the photos of a fine, finished project, Sir.

What a beauty

Re: Chapman Amwell?
Do I remember rightly that the Amwell makes a very nice Tench rod?
