Greg –

Congratulations on your article in WON! Your crafting abilities and commitment to making these amazing pieces of working art is certainly top notch.

For the rest of you that haven’t had the pleasure of seeing one of these awesome nets in person, or had the amazing fortune to receive one as a gift, here’s a bit of how it feels……

As mentioned in this initial post, my wife and fishing partner (Lacey) surprised me with one of Greg's nets for Christmas. I couldn’t figure out why she was so excited and ready to take pictures of me opening this 18” x 29” box that weighed next to nothing. I racked my brain trying to think of anything I had mentioned that I wanted, but I came up blank. When I opened the box and pulled away the center piece of styrofoam I saw the handle and just the starting curve of the bow. At that point it dawned on me that she had paid attention to all those times I called her to the computer to show her Greg’s website and ogle over all the photos of his beautiful works. I kept telling her “someday…..” yet I was still amazed that she had really bought me one.

When I pulled away the rest of the styrofoam all I could do for several seconds was look at the net in all its glory. I then carefully pulled it out and held it up to show the crowd that was all in the know of the whole story and equally excited to see it. At this point I felt like Lou Gehrig standing there in front of home plate at Yankee Stadium, “.. today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth.” A totally different situation of course, but the proper words none the less.

My net is called “Bloodwood Dunes” and is made of Curly Spanish Cedar, Bloodwood, Birds Eye Maple, Mahogany and Wenge. It’s simply beautiful. And another amazing feature is that the handle smells like a fine humidor!

Thanks Greg for your amazing talent and this net that is truly an heirloom!

Congratulations Greg!! Definately something to be proud of, I can't wait till I get to see the net you built for Stanbery next week.

Congrats. I hope this surprise exposure brings you plenty of new orders. I agree about the "bang for buck" at the Pleasanton show. It's been a packed house every time I've gone.

Gary, MANY THANKS for the kind words my friend. I am very glad you like it. It has a good home now, and that makes me happy! Love the photos! I stole them already! LOL!

Pette, so i guess I shouldn't stop by your place on my way home from the Pleasanton show then. You'd prolly jack my display nets at gunpoint I'm thinking!

Greg,

You are thinking correctly. I have the guns to take em.
