My friend gave me the White Cedar; his wife saw what I was doing and said she wanted a salmon for him;  I gave it to him on 21 July as a gift in return for the cedar, burls and wooden bird parts he didn't want anymore; 27x11x2 inches.

This is the first Ling Cod by me and the purchased third of the fish commissioned; I decided to do a cod because I liked their fins and offered it to the buyer in place of a snapper if he liked; he did for another $300.  The three are to be hung as a group on a wall.

I had a commission to build three red snappers after my first one was made; the grain and lines were of great interest to the buyer:  white cedar, hematite and abalone;  I still have this one; he took two others and a ling cod.
