I hate to rain on your parade, but it looks like that Wade & Butcher has a crack (~1mm) bang in the middle.
If not, then nice haul.

Wow Phrank, I knew you were a wild man. Look at the size of that blade. Nice! Originally Posted by Phrank

Looking good. I hope you can get a good edge on it. The horizontal stabiliser might be too close to the edge, which could result in a less than optimal edge. I had this happen once - it still shaves fine (not brilliantly, but fine) though.The stabilisers at the heel might get in the way, although I guess if they do, you'll hone out the issue while setting the bevel.

But it seems like it will work out in the end, above are all only potential issues. Good job so far and good luck getting it there all the way.
