A Custom Net for the Owners of the FF Show

Postby Fishfreak911 » January 21st, 2013, 1:43 am

This was a commission by Ben Furminsky, the son of Check F., owner of the FF shows.

It is the second one of this elliptical shape modeled after Flybob's net.

The woods are: Cat's Paw Burl Big Leaf Maple, Genuine Mahogany, & Wenge. The open burl eyes were filled with Kingman Turquoise, and copper accents rounds out the raw materials. I tied a black and teal lanyard which ended up blending nicely with the colors of the net. We laser engraved their logo right onto the handle.

It was a fun build, I hope you enjoyed.

Beautiful piece of art and very functional as well. Great pictures.

Amazing, Greg. I didn't know what to say when you allowed you me to hold those masterpieces in Mammoth. Seeing this one made that feeling return.

And I'm going to be dropping you a PM soon regarding an article I'm writing for Wildman.

Take care, Mike
