Nice looking board
Understand your point of no photos before customer seeing it.
I remember the days of building boards and customers always dropping in to check out progress.

Good call olskool, not asking for flat edge across or on rocker line (understand design subtlety).
But a general photo of bottom contour and rail tuck.

Wow Mark, you are a Machine. I know you changed it a little from my file but still very keen to hear what your customer thinks. Awesome job.
