A nice little homage to a region in Maine, the Androscoggin River, and a mythical past. Thank you, Norm.

That may be the most precise dressing I’ve ever seen. Remarkable detail.

Yes! The first thing I noticed was how the bars in the wood duck aligns with the alternating
black and white floss body. Like an extension. Masterful work for sure.
