Atlantic Swordfish Bill
Photos show Genuine Atlantic Swordfish Bill, front & back.
Mahogany & Oat butt piece has 2 coats of high gloss polyurethane, and the swordbill has been well sanded with 80 grit sandpaper and up to 2,000 grit paper, then polished to a glass smooth finish.
Look closely the photos as there's a dark line, imperfection, in the center. You can't feel it, but it is visible, and is reflected in the pricing.
2 photos show the first mate and me carrying a load of fresh sword bills from the "Destiny" of New Bedford MA
Lastly a few photos of my Pen and Ink artwork.
I have lots of other listings including finished Pen & Ink artwork on polished swordbills, & blank swordbills in different degrees of finishing.
