Tips and comments

 

  A very effective Craig Mathews pattern. Durable an relatively easy to build. After you bind the wing ,force it up with your thumb nail to a vertical position and form a thread "jam" at the point between the wing and hook shank. This will prevent the wing from falling forward in about an hour and a half.
