Good stuff K. :thumbsup:

 

Nice to see another Peak Vise user. I've had mine for 3 years and haven't had a problem with it. The only thing I might suggest is taking that bright white base off and giving it a light coat of gray spray paint. I did that to mine after about 2 weeks of tying with it and realizing the glare was giving me a headache. :wallbash: Maybe it doesn't bother you like it did me but keep it in mind.

 

Keep it up!!

Here is one I made today with a tail this time. I used uni yarn for the body -- I like how that stuff looks.

Great start back

 

I returned to tying this summer also, and also picked up a Peak Vise (very pleased so far).

Here's a cosseboom I tied... I don't have any soft yellow hackle so the stiff will do for now.
