I can live with this. I scrubbed everything and built the shader from scratch. I used glossy node and plugged the bump map into the eccentricity value and adjusted from there. I also adjusted the other shaders on the tree to fit. I am going to give my head and eyes a much needed rest and then add this shader to the materials package. I'll make a note in the ReadMe to allude to it.

 

 

If I had a nickle for ever time a woman told me to get lost, I could buy Manhattan.
