Marvelous! The best Baillie-style spider I can recall seeing.

I love the unruly buggyness of the Jackdaw hackle. Two fins up!

Every confidence that pattern. The jackdaw is fantastic here.

Beautifully dressed. Especially nice given the fragile nature of the Jackdaw.

Thank you all for your kind words.

These unruly critters have their own kind of aesthetics 8-)
