Long 34" net for a buddy. Pic heavy

Quote from Greg
Long 34" handle, and really nice wood combo of Bird's eye maple, curly maple, & walnut. A wenge accent strip runs the length of the handle too. I can't wait to put the finish on. The bird's eye, and all of the grain for that matter will just POP!

This net is for a fishing Buddy of mine who would like a longer net then the one he has.

It looks awesome!!!

If anyone would like a great net for fishing Greg is the man for you

Greg thats a work of art. Jon someone is going to be very happy with that net. He just might have to take a special trip to N.Z to break it in.

Dang it, you missed by a quarter of an inch!
(what do expect from and engineer)
And so typical of a fisherman.....always rounding UP!

Nice work man, that is going to be one nice net!

Good one Bob, but its THE ANGLE of the camera shot which accentuates the view which leads one to believe that it's a quarter inch.... ohhh, who am I kidding? So its off by 3/16" so what?!

Bob, that is the difference between a wood and metal worker. A good wood worker is one who can hide his mistakes!

Net update. I totally FUBARd the groove on the rim and now have to fix it. Should cost me 3 days. Ouch. This is the first one I couldn't just "blend in" to fix it. Oh well, that's what makes them unique.
