You've done a cracking job there and being a wet shaver myself I think it would look pretty good in my bathroom :ciggrin:

Looks great to me.

If you cast your own I think the fly would look good the other way

What Ed said Mark, but...... I'm a wet shaver ....and....a fly fisherman. :winking:

That's a great conversation piece you've made though I guess it depends on who you share your bathroom with. :ciggrin:
