After 2 weeks of hanging and acclimation following the final tapering pass, "Orca II" was sealed in shellac, pin installed, sanded flat, coated with the epoxy substrate and flat sanded to the pre finish size.
Orca II is making a trip to the studio where Ken will do his artistic magic on the handle. The Art Depiction will be in black and white with gray shades showing Orca the killer whale attacking a white shark that was feeding on a school of fish. The look on the sharks face is the highlight as he never saw it coming.
Thanks for looking and all of the positive comments and feedback about this special cue and a tribute to my friend "Stew", a great designer.
