That is such a lovely creation and construction. And the hook! The hook is awesome. In Sweden we call it "fulsnygg"

Very nice "aged" looking tie.
Did you wax the silk? Looks to be darkened somewhat, in a nice way.

Ah, a nice one--and those thread wraps are to be admired, too.

Sweet sulphur pattern Rodger. Tye up some extras and start your Roscoe fly box soon. You can swing these in front of the museum, with success.

Precision wraps and marvelous hackle. As Ray points out, an excellent dorothea imitation.]
