my swordfish project.

I think I mentioned a chap asked me to do this, back in the summer but you know how it is..
Anyway, the filthy, cold weather helped encourage me to stay indoors & get this thing done!

Here it is...





Like the 'bow I posted back along, I used the techniques I learnt here on the great 'SBO' for lure-making but a bit bigger.. well, this swordy is nearly 3 foot long!

holy crap jimfishuk.....thats nice

Jim you sneaky thing, you've been hiding that talent from us  
You are a true artist and sculpture. That is one of the best carvings of a pelagic fish I've seen in a long time.
Great job. That is one lucky chap to receive such a beautiful sculpture.
We want more of that, like a Striper  

Thanks for the comments Gents, appreciate them.
Not going to tell you how many hours went into that thing, Charlie!
A brown trout is next up but I agree, a striper is just going to have to be done, they are such cool fish..

Excellent work! ...lucky man to receive that.
