Epoxy Fish

I completed this board for a friend who works with the guys at Homeblown. It meant a lot that Tris (one of the UK's most infamous shapers) had a good look over the board to pass on his comments. I completed the Rapsberry red tint, as the first in my new premises, where glassing and finish is now totally completed by me, to ensure overall quality is maintained.
