GREAT job... looks really good. I like the taper that you did on the ends. Gives it a good look and makes it easy to slide through the hawse pipe. One final, not necessary, but neat little touch that you might want to try is to take the splice you just made, put it on the floor, put your foot on it and roll it back and forth several times under pressure. It forms the splice into a nice round cylinder an gives it a "finished", professional look. Arrrr...ye be having the makins of a seadawg now...
